Maya Angelou

I keep a hotel room in my town, although I have a large house. And I go there at about 5:30 in the morning, and I start working. And I don't allow anybody to come in that room. I work on yellow pads and with ballpoint pens. I keep a Bible, a thesaurus, a dictionary, and a bottle of sherry. I stay there until midday.

Reading the dictionary helps me express myself better. I can spend hours flicking through a thesaurus, too. It's not about expanding my vocabulary, it's just that I have a very specific taste with words. I'll sit and write lists of them to help me better describe my life.

Not to sound corny, but intelligence is big. Everything fades, and everything can be modified. But intelligence is something you can't fake. I'm not even talking about whether you can read a thesaurus backwards. But there is a beauty in common sense.

My guilty pleasure at the end of the day is an old thesaurus. I know that can lead to overwriting, but if words such as lambent, pyretic and boscy exist, how sad they should stay recondite.

Meg Rosoff

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.

American Writer

British Journalist

Scott Westerfeld

I found a great book called 'Slang Through the Ages' by Jonathon Green. It's basically a thesaurus of historical slang, and had lots of great old uses.

American Author

No thesaurus can give you those words, no rhyming dictionary. They must happen out of you.

A thesaurus helps you learn new words to replace common ones, making your language richer.

Enhance Vocabulary

Using a thesaurus prevents you from repeating the same word too often in your writing.

Avoid Repetition

Some synonyms in a thesaurus may not fit the context of your sentence, so choose carefully.

Context Matters

Subject-specific thesauri contain terms and information about a particular field of study.

Subject Specific

Thesauri are invaluable in academic research for finding precise terminology and understanding concepts.

Academic Research

Unlike synonym listings, a subject-specific thesaurus provides organized information on a topic.

Not Synonym List

 in which plagiarists create fake authors, book titles, page numbers, or other information in order to cover up plagiarism. And the old synonym switcheroo in which plagiarists utilize a thesaurus as their main weapon. By substituting a synonym for nearly every word in the document and leaving the sentence structure

 I always keep my thesaurus handy whenever I'm writing anything, but I'd already finished editing the piece, and I realized that I had never once in my life looked up the word "disabled" to see what I'd find. Let me read you the entry.
