Thank you all for your responses.
A quick follow up, what is the best way to make dictionary requests case
in-sensitive? For example, "Apple and "apple" should bring back the same
dictionary response. Thank you.

I think this would depend on how big the data set is and how often you want to
look things up.
Two other Solutions:
Create a class which internally manages two dictionaries.
If things are really big create a database using for example sqlite.
