My guy and I were on a walk the other night and we passed a palm tree I thought was lovely -- but neither of us could remember the proper name of it. All we had was "sa-something." When we got home I fed the letters and meaning (palm tree) to TMT, and got this:
It was a sabal palm, as the TMT correctly guessed on the first run. When you're writing there is nothing more annoying than being unable to remember a word exactly, so this online tool can serve as a very helpful search and rescue for your brain.
Oh, cool! I use one-look.com's reverse dictionary, which is like a mix of thesaurus, dictionary mixed with steroids and hallucinogens *I kid you not, you should see some of the suggestions* but sometimes the offerings are too broad. This will be handy!
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for this! I spent an hour the other day trying to think of a particular word. Even called my sister, talked to my brother-in-law, called my mother. Finally had to give up and find a different word altogether.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I can see how useful this site will be. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOMG! This it the best thing since sliced bread! Seriously. I can't tell you how many times I go vapor-lock on a word I need!
