Those people can look at a dictionnary when they don't understand said word. I am not a native speaker and I do it all the time.

It has never been easier and it enriches my language, why would I want to avoid that?

In fact, the browser can and does facilitate this very well. You can already just double click then right click and search on any word to get a definition, and I'm pretty sure there are dictionary extensions that make it even easier than having to go out to a search engine.
