An encyclopedia, like Wikipedia or Britannia
Knows something about everything
It would not be normal to sit down and read an encyclopedia from cover to cover. An encyclopedia is what is called a reference work, you would use it to look stuff up when you needed to know something specific, rather like using a dictionary to find out how to spell or the meeting of a word that you did not know. It is also rather amusing to open an encyclopedia and have a look at something randomly each day. That way you can build up your general knowledge. The best encyclopedia is of cause the online one called "Wikipedia".
An encyclopedia helps you not only to know everything but also to be good at nothing.
I dont know what that encyclopedia is then but you could re-write it on Notepad. Save it and you know how much GB it is, altough i think it will be around 5 MB.
There are two ways to spell it: Encyclopaedia or Encyclopedia
everything in the world you need to know from A to Z
Nessie was a plesiosaurus. I should know I have a dinosaur encyclopedia.
I do not know but you should check a science encyclopedia! :) ):-(
It stands for Sub Verbo, it means "under the heading," or "under the word." If one were citing something from an encyclopedia, they could quote "See Encyclopedia Brittanica 2009 s.v. Shoff, Rabbi Elchanan" or something like that
That's an interesting question. If you mean what volume of the encyclopedia has the entry Wiki... that depends on what encyclopedias you are talking about, whether they have that entry, and whether they even have volumes (online ones do not), but I would hazard a guess that the volume would be W, or W-Z, or something similar to that. Many encyclopedias are arranged alphabetically. If you mean something else, like ... what is the volume of the encyclopedia called Wiki... that's harder. I don't know of an encyclopedia called that exact name. Wikipedia is close, but since it is entirely online it would be hard to measure volume... perhaps the servers that the data resides on?
