Dictionary Review: * * * * *

I just ordered a dictionary.  I was sorta surprised to see that people actually submitted reviews for it on Barnes & Noble.  I half expected them to say stuff like, "Yep, all the words are there", or "I lost interest half-way through".  This was by far the best out of all of them:

I am just a ten year old with a normal life, and I LOVE to read but nobody really notices. But when the spelling bee time comes I really shine out. I study real hard and practically almost missed my summer break (I at least got to go to Stone Mountain and Six Flags). I was only in the fourth grade when I was runner-up for my school speling bee. I was against a fifth grader so don't go so hard on me. It might seem dumb to you about this spelling bee junk, but it's real important to me so this book helps cause it's the book/dictionary they use in the Scripts Howard Spelling Bee.

This kid is the only one who didn't give the dictionary five stars.  Only four from him.  Guess it didn't fully meet his expectations.

Here are some exerpts from other notable reviews:

"...the dictionary works great."

"This really is the greatest dictionary I ever bought."

"The very good rating is based upon the accuracy and breadth of the definitions I have encountered."

Too bad 4th grader Johnny-Squarepants spelled 'spelling' wrong.

Ehh, that's too cool if it's a real review by a 10-year-old, who has my 6th grade win beat.  I was so happy 'cause I won over this really popular girl who was always in the spotlight.

I made it to the semi-finals at a spelling bee back in fourth grade. Blew it on 'bribery' and ended up getting one of those french fry box shaped canvas book bags. Remember those?

lol...I went to the next spelling bee, and the girl who won cheated by having her friends yell out answers, i can't believe the judges let her win.  i was runner up.  i remember her name...jocelyn.  little cheat.  we still both got to go to a 3rd one, and i missed "doorjamb," forgot the "b." i guess i was thinking "toe jam" or something...
