Gottfried and MrB, on the " I - word " and the " V - word"...

>We need a desktop thesaurus so we can look up synonyms for interesting.

It's interesting that I'll never think of the word interesting as being anything less than interesting again.

One time someone brought to my attention the over-use of the word "very". As in, it's a very crappy day. The idea being, that instead of using "very", one would be better off using some word more meaningful. Such as, it's a stinky crappy day. Stinky being more specific and descriptive than very. You get the idea.

Is this interesting, or what? I think I'll go dig up my thesarus and see what can take the place of something interesting. :-)
