As a person with the retentive mental capacity of a goldfish and a dislike of repetition, I frequently make use of the thesaurus built into my Microsoft Word U.K. Software.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Vocabulary is a matter of word-building as well as word-using.
No thesaurus can give you those words, no rhyming dictionary. They must happen out of you.
Every time I have to look up a word in the dictionary, I'm delighted.
I do love perusing the dictionary to find how many words I don't use - words that have specific, sharp, focused meaning. I also love the sound of certain words. I love the sound of the word pom-pom.
According to my wife, my use of vocabulary is wide and varied.
I used to like the word of the day and when I read, highlight words that I didn't know and look them up.
My vocabulary is vast and expert, and I don't think I overuse any word.
I'm very sensitive to the English language. I studied the dictionary obsessively when I was a kid and collect old dictionaries. Words, I think, are very powerful and they convey an intention.
I wrote it three times - with a Thesaurus.
