While we are on this subject, I am looking for a thesaurus that works like
Roget's printed version, ie explain the differences between similar words
and give usage examples. All the compouter versions I have tried only give
you lists, and perhaps dictionary definitions, but not the subtle nuances
that make one word more appropriate than another. Any suggestions? TIA
