From 90d22f643fc3010f837b1d774c4c70200563a4b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Carroll Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2020 12:58:13 +0100 Subject: Support dictionary.md Back when I owned an iPhone -- before I switched (mistakenly and thus temporarily) to Android -- I had a note for each year's newly learned words. As I am condensing as many of my documents as possible into my briefcase, I decided it is time for including a dictionary. I can still record words on my phone, and then I can transfer them to this document. --- dictionary.md | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) create mode 100644 dictionary.md (limited to 'dictionary.md') diff --git a/dictionary.md b/dictionary.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..7593f9902f51 --- /dev/null +++ b/dictionary.md @@ -0,0 +1,12 @@ +# Dictionary + +I will use this document to record words as I learn them aiming to improve my +vocabulary.
