Thesaurus Day

Date When Celebrated:  Always January 18 Thesaurus Day celebrates the birthday of the author of  Roget's Thesaurus . Peter Roget was born on this day in 1779. The Thesaurus has been an invaluable reference book for hundreds of years. Students and writers use it to improve the quality of their literary work. Do you remember how the book works? After High School, many of us forget. If you have forgotten, you're in good company. The Thesaurus lists synonyms (words with the same or similar meaning) for words. It allows you to avoid repetition in writing and speeches.  It also lists antonyms...words with opposite meaning. Enjoy today appreciating the value of the Thesaurus. If you haven't seen it in a while, take a moment to browse through it. http://www.holidayinsights.com/other/thesaurusday.htm Feel Free to comment and share with your friends!
