We know they’re there, their names (Coen, Spielberg, Spelling, et al.) are in the credits as producers and directors and writers. Some actors have hidden behind blandiose names so as to be ethnically indistinguishable (and sexually unclear in the case of Jamie Lee Curtis, [daug..."
About This Website Thinker's Thesaurus

"This website is dedicated to the proposition that all thesauruses are not created equal. In fact, most of them offer nothing but mundane alternatives to words for which you want a great synonym. For example, if you want to use another word for large, does it really help you to find words like “giant”, “enormous” and “huge” in a thesaurus? In fact, don’t you always find that the synonyms they offer..."

"I'm sure this dictionary is great if you need to touch up on your fashion lingo, it's filled with 1356 definition-filled pages. I, on the other hand, love this book for its fashion illustration on the cover. It reminds me of Sabrina (the movie) and Cruella DeVille."

Shorter Oxford English Dictionary

"The Oxford English Dictionary (book-people call it the 'OED') is the most comprehensive, informative, and legible English dictionary in the world. The problem is, it fills up 20 volumes and costs around $1K. Enter the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. With a measly 2 volumes, you can easily fit this on your bookshelf. It contains over half a million definitions. Oxford doesn't drop $10 words o..."

"If you play Scrabble, this is the dictionary to have. It has all of the words you need that probably aren't in a normal dictionary, like "Xu" (a monetary unit of Vietnam) and "Qi" (the Chinese vital force that is inherent in all things). It's probably not the best everyday dictionary, but works OK for that as well. My personal Scrabble goals are to score 500 in a game and get the 4x and 9x ..."
