Note that when you find the meaning of the word 'get around'
, you should type 'getarou' instead of typing a space between 't' and 'a'
because it will help you find the meaning of the word 'get around' faster than typing a space between 't' and 'a'.
Notice that the dictionary use alphabetical order, so the word 'gets up' appears before the word 'get up'
because the character 's' come before the character 'u'.
