Here's why:
* Factual Information: Dictionaries provide factual information about words, their meanings, pronunciations, origins, and usage.
* Objective Presentation: The information presented in a dictionary is intended to be objective and unbiased, not based on opinions or interpretations.
* No Fictional Narrative: Dictionaries do not tell a story or create fictional characters. They focus on presenting real-world information about language.
While a dictionary may include interesting facts about words, its primary purpose is to provide factual and objective information about language, making it a nonfiction resource.
