Is it a book, or a dinosaur? Turns out it is a book. One that I wish people would use more frequently. I've become so disinterested with using the same words. Do you know how often I say, "awesome" or "amazing"? Probably somewhere in the vicinity of twenty times a day. I know that words go through phases, especially slang. No one has referred to me as "bird" or "doll" in...ever, actually, and that makes me sorrowful. That being the case, I took a few minutes to look up synonyms for "awesome" and "amazing" so that I can diversify my exclamations of glee.

Depending on how you define a "word" there are between 170,000 and 210,000 of them in existence. The average person will never use more than 20,000 of them. Isn't that awful?
