Synonyms are an essential part of english. The english language is so diverse and sometimes difficult.You can never find the right words to express yourself. So instead of sitting there looking stunned, you should try to use a synonym, there are so many different synonyms for every word.
There are so many instances when you just can't find the correct word to use, that's why it's so emportant that everyone keep an english synonym dictionary in their book collection. You should even carry one with you when you travel and write, or speak at different ocasions. I know that I have to consult for the definition of a word in many instances. There is also a free online synonym dictionary, and free online thesaurus, which can be used to find the synonym to any word you could ever need when writting emails or letters on the internet. Some writers find the online dictionaries more helpful than regular hard cover dictionaries.
It is just easier to pull the website up rather than pull the dictionary off of the shelf, especially if you´re using a computer word processing program to do your writing. Every kind of needed dictionary from a language dictionary to a rhyming dictionary can be found online.
