I looked up the definition of "morale" and the pronunciation for "orangutan." I looked up a word like morale just to get the exact definition, as I was familiar with it already.

"Etymology," according to Google.

I already knew what it meant, I was just double-checking.

Fugue state it's mental disorder I find it interesting its a dissociative disorder and a rare psychiatric disorder characterized by reversible amnesia for personal identity, including the memories, personality, and other identifying characteristics of individuality. The state can last days, months or longer.

What made me look this up was a episode from the Twilight zone 2002 version called a Another Life where this guy switches through two lives one as a famous rapper and the other as a murder suspect being interrogated by the cops.

I just looked up the word "solitary". I know what it means - just wanted to be sure I use it right.

My company was bought by a European company so I've been looking up how to say their names lol.

I've never sure when to say the letter J as "y" or "j"....Like it Johan "Joe-hahn" or "Yo-hahn"? Does it depend on where their from?

And Dutch names? Yikes, those are some tough ones.

Contention.

Dictionary is one browser tab that I always have open. Usually to check proper usage, not meaning.
