W5: Exact language

W5Exact language

Two reference works (or their online equivalents) will help you find words to express your meaning exactly: a good dictionary, such as The American Heritage Dictionary or Merriam-Webster online, and a collection of synonyms and antonyms, such as Roget’s International Thesaurus.

tip: Do not turn to a thesaurus in search of impressive words. Look instead for words that exactly express your meaning.
