Yes! This is such a good point. I struggled so much with books that had many exchanges in French - the writing really reflected the audience it was directed at. I’m referring to books I read when I was growing up, before the Internet was as robust as it is now. Back then I didn’t have the same resources to look things up.

I suppose I really didn’t know what other people do! I guess I imagined that folks are so pressed for time, that having to step away from a book would be distracting? But I have to give readers more credit!

Do you use that feature? I’m just really curious if folks are stopping to look up things, or if they’re just moving along.

That’s fantastic. I am now remembering when I had to find a dictionary to help me with A Clockwork Orange. It was like learning another language
