It depends. If I'm not near a computer or dictionary, I tend to just infer the meaning from how the word is being used, the words around it, and so on. However, I tend to have a pretty good idea of what it means or at least how to use it before I look it up.

I do quite often search the meanings of words I don't know on dictionary.com. Most of the time I figure out the meaning by the surrounding words but always search anyway to clarify.

The only time I recall looking in the dictionary for words I don't know the meaning of is when I can't tell what the meaning of it is based off the context in which it is used. Usually, you know what it means even if you have never heard it before just by how it is used.

If I see a word I don't know, yeah. I actually looked this up not too long ago. Extraterritoriality. I wanted to try and use it, somehow, but how do you stick that into a sentence? Unless you're talking about diplomats or something.

I do this fairly often. Whenever I see a word whose meaning I don't know, I first observe the context it is in. If it happens to be something I can tell is mostly used on the Internet, I will look it up on Urban Dictionary. If it is something that would be used in real life conversations and whatnot, I'll look it up on Dictionary.com.

I do so occasionally... But I usually just go to context clues and try to figure out what the word means from the sentence. I'm usually too lazy to go and grab a dictionary and try to find out what the word means. xD

I don't.

I generally figure out the context and find out what the word means by process of elimination.

I only look it up if it's literally impossible to tell from context.

Usually only when it is required.  I am really lazy and don't feel like looking in a giant book and looking for a definition when I could probably figure it out if I tried.

It depends, if there are absolutely no context clue for me to at least get an idea of what a word might mean, then yes I will most certainly look up a unknown word.


Although I don't usually have to look up words very often.

If I'm near a computer, then yes. I need to increase mah knowledge.

IF not, then I just try to guess what it means. ME not knowing a definition of a word usually occurs during English class.
