I grew up in a house hold where "What does this word mean or how do you spell (word)?" was met with "Look it up in the dictionary." I still look words and phrases up to this day and I am retired. My first experience with a word in a non-english language was in a "Hardy Boys" book. It was OUI which I found out was "WE" and French for yes. My grandmother had to tell me this as I was getting frustrated trying to find it in the dictionary.
