A thesaurus is something like a dictionary, but not quite: When you look up a word, instead of listing the word's definition (as a dictionary does), a thesaurus lists several synonyms of the word you're looking for, as well as many related words. It's often useful when you don't want to use commonplace, frequently used words in too ubiquitous a manner. [img]smile.gif[/img]
