"I always have a dictionary in the drawer of my work-desk, both in the office and at home, and I use it frequently. It helps me understand the meaning of words and their usage so that I use the right word and avoid using words incorrectly.
This habit started in primary school, but over the years, my dictionaries have grown in size and are somewhat bigger than the ones I used in primary school."
~Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean (also Minister-in-charge of the Civil Service and Minister for Defence)
