Very nifty idea: http://www.visualthesaurus.com/
I can see where this will help in my choosing of words when I am writing.

This is really awesome. My only gripe being I couldn't play around with it more before being required to subscribe. Then again, $2.95 for a month isn't that bad.

Yep. 19.95 for a year is actually quite fair.

You can actually play around with it some more by simply going back to the home page which I did quite a lot last night.
I'm going to talk to my principal today and see about collecting $10/child from 5th to 8th grade (maybe even 4th) and buying a group license. Yes the school could probably swing the $220/year for all the pc's in the lab, but my way the student can use it at home too.

Righto! I think the benefits for this for kids (or anyone) is priceless.
Well, I tried it and I'm not impressed. It has no entries for thesaurus other than its definition. ;)

I don't think there is a synonym?

No there isn't, but I do so enjoy asking people what another word for thesaurus is. ;) Had this one actually found one, then it truly would be better than the rest. :)

Needs work. I stuck Coot's name in there and it came up with a duck. :rofl:
