This reminds me... Did you ever notice that most thesauri appear to be
written for people who apparently favor the use of single syllable
words? Finding the most appropriate words in such thesauri is often
dang near impossible, since most of the synonyms listed are intended
for those with a seventh grade, or lower, vocabulary. It makes me
wonder all the more about why increasingly larger sums of money are
stolen from us by the government for "education."
Have a happy new year!
