A project started recently. I am keeping a hard-copy log of dictionary use: every time I look up a word, whether it is completely new, or I desire a more precise understanding of it, I write the date, time, definition, and source of the word.
I decided to create an online version of this as well, to share with other book- and word-lovers. My dictionary is a heavily-used book; I recommend cultivating an interest in yours.
