When i come across a new word, I look it as a quest to expand my vocabulary and less like an inconvenience. I will look the word up in an actual dictionary, because the journey to finding it helps me remember and increases the reward. Think about other words you come across when searching for the right one. Once I have the word and the definition, I try to find a way to use it 3 times a day until i remember it. After all, so much effort has gone into finding it, you wouldn't want to lose it right! So I like new words, though it may slow the story down, but it is a quest to expanding my knowledge and over all that is what is important to me.
Another way to commit the word to memory - and to even make it part of your working vocabulary is to use it as a password to a site that you frequent.
