The basic premise of her argument is this: when you want to know how to spell something, you can simply enter it into Google and use the "did you mean" function to correct your spelling. I find this works first time in most instances, except in situations where my initial guess at the spelling is wildly wrong: in those cases, a few further guesses tend to achieve the desired result.
Angwin adds that it's not just spelling corrections: searching for any word will typically result in a definition of that word within the first few results (also note that you can use "define:" before the word to achieve even more precise definitions). Beyond spellings and definitions, she notes, you can hop over to Google News to see the word in context - while dictionaries typically only include one use case per word, Google provides hundreds.
I'll admit that I haven't used a printed dictionary in years, and would rather Google a word than spend those extra seconds entering the URL of an online dictionary.
How about you: do you mainly use printed dictionaries, online dictionaries, Google, or some other way to look up words? Let us know using the poll below.
