Creative:
innovational, groundbreaking, resourceful, fresh, cool, originative, formative,
inferential, structural, novel.
My favorites:
Innovational=being or producing something like
nothing done or experienced or created before
Originative=having the ability or power to create
Skeptical:
leery, wary, cynical, unbelieving, doubting, questioning, incredulous,
disbelieving
My favorites:
Incredulous=not disposed or willing to believe
Leery=openly distrustful and unwilling to confide
When I am typing or writing a paper I will use my
computer’s thesaurus a lot. If I am having a hard time coming up with a word or
even if I have a word but I want a different one similar to it, I use my
thesaurus. I have never had problems, such as using a word that doesn’t
actually work in the context of a sentence. Generally before I use a word I
look at its definition to make sure it’s what I think. I don’t use words that I
don’t know their meaning.
I am definitely going to add this website to my “favorites”
because I can see myself becoming a “word nerd”. Here are a few words that I
decided to search for and their synonyms:
talk: discussion,
lecture, speak, spill, blether, prattle
happy:
fortuitous, pleased, glad, felicitous, expansive, cheerful
Some of the connections seem to be right on, others seem
to be not quite what I was looking for. Overall I highly recommend using this
kind of a sight next time I am writing/typing a paper.
