I found the CERM by Lindeburg had a thorough enough glossary that I didn't need a dictionary, although others have found bringing one was helpful.

I used CERM and a basic science and engineering dictionary.
I checked out a Civil Engineering Dictionary from the local University of which I am an alumni. I think alumni can check it out for 30 days and general public for 10 days or something. I only used it for one question in the morning that I couldn't find in the CERM. It couldn't hurt to have it but I wouldn't drop $100 on a new book that you'll only used once or twice. Use the index of the CERM and you'll be better off.

Yes, i just brought in a small dictionary and used the CERM. I figured if they really wanted to get me on the lingo they could definitely find something... I only used the dictionary once but I believe it helped.
I also would not buy a 100$ engineering dictionary to use one time.. It's a bit of overkill if you ask me.

Here we go Steelers, here we go!
Because answering the same question over and over makes the veterens of the board not want to answer questions any more.

Because it's been asked... and more importantly ANSWERED many times. If you think your (and others) answer here is better than all the other answered in all the other threads, then by all means: add the following disclaimer to your posts:
And I'll stop pointing to the other threads.
Either way...
Oh, and to answer your specific question: Yes, because there is so much activity on this board but no, not because it's taking up space.
Have a great day!
Wow, a bit cranky aren't we? If you don't want to answer it, just don't... that's the beauty of the internet.

See... that's where you're wrong - and twice in one sentence!
I am not cranky. And it's not as simple as "don't participate if you don't like the dialogue". I'll participate wherever I think I can add value.
OK, in light of all this great DC talk of "change and cooperation", I offer you this helpful suggestion: Check out A Much Better Forum than Engineering Boards Will Ever Hope to Be. I think you'd fit in very well over there.
