Some might think this is a dumbed down thesaurus for teens, but I liked it. It has the words you might fall back on when you're lazy (like the notorious "nice" and the overused and abused "awesome"), and provides alternatives that still sound natural. (When some people use the thesaurus there are words no one really ever uses, and you end up sounding like a pompous old fart.) Nice way to bump up your language level, if like me, you've been getting a little rusty. Wish I could print these out on cards and flip through them a bit each day.

Make your ailing vocabulary go from merely good to exceptionally splendid and stupendous! Your brain holds an impressive vocabulary of more than 20,000 words, but chances are you only use a small fraction of them. That fraction is usually filled with worn-out oldies that have lost their impact, such as interesting, good, and nice Inside, you'll find more than thirty alternatives for each of the one hundred most commonly overused words in the English language. Along with a list of synonyms, each common word comes with definitions, sample sentences, witty quotes, explanations of why the word fails to communicate, and much more.
