The only time the dictionary failed me was when I was in grade school and the adults were talking about ptomaine poisoning and how they were concerned about some pizza we had eaten earlier. I got worried and needed to know what it meant. But I did not realize it started with p instead of a t. I ended up going to an encyclopedia in the town library to find it connected to mushrooms. It was a hairy few days for me.
