nice one, Jeff. I still have my Roget's college thesaurus...although it's a dinosaur and a lot less convenient than the online version, there's something I like about the tactile experience of flipping the pages and getting lost in the nuances of words. I enjoyed your read. Have a pleasant evening, Sara

I know what you mean Sara... One of my university roommates was a bibliophile, and not in the sense of simply loving to collect them wink wink. Thanks for commenting

I know what you mean ilene, but I'm more a dictionary person; I can't spell worth a dam ;)~~~

Synosaurus of the Thesaurus species lives online these days. No more trees going extinct because of printing his words.
