For those of you, like me, who love words, here's a site you should check out: the online version of the Visual Thesaurus. Click on the "online edition," wait for the java, then enter a word in the upper left. It gives you a spatial "map" of words similar in meaning to the one you've entered. You have to see it to see just how cool it is. It's a great teaching tool also, especially for students who are visual learners.
