Wellll......
according to the thesaurus built into MS Word there's:
lexicon
glossary
phrase book
word list
and a little further digging finds that they all point to each other....

I think you'll find that you were looking for the question
"what's another word for synonym?"

I lost my believe in thee MS Word Thesaurus when I - just for fun - let it look for a synonym for 'first'. Here's what it said:
'The birth of Christ' (!)

I don't know where you were looking Mo Power but now it says
Primary
initial
original
opening
foremost
earliest
former
As these books are only written by people even if they are found on machines, if they don't do a good enough job, it is up to those who are not happy to do something about it. You could always write your own.

In MS Word 97 thes, if you look up the phrase "i'd like to see bill gates dead" it'll say "i'll drink to that"
Apparently.
Oh and if you type "zzzz" in word 97 and right click on it after the red line appears, one of the suggested spellings is "sex".
Key: Complain about this post
