Thesaurus

On the Internet we can find a large amount of resources. Apart from dictionaries, we can also find encyclopedias like http://global.britannica.com/ or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, where we can find interesting articles abaout words or terms we neet to know deeply.

But, what about synonyms and antonyms? Sometimes, when we are writing we want to avoid repeating the same word every once and again, and this is the main reason why we should know synonyms.

A extremely helpful resource is Thesaurus, a tool that help us to know synonyms and antonyms of every word. You can try introducing any word in http://www.thesaurus.com/. I've tryed with the word "history".

Firstly, I've could see the synonyms (like past or ancient times) and then the antonyms (in this case only future). I've could also find words related with "history" (such as, narration or detail) and I've even could use some filters to choose the most formal ones (forexample, olden days).

Do you dare to try with any other word?
