Hey Thordis:

You can check this page:

www.dictionary.com

And use the Lookup option.

 

Thanks... I tried the word 'measurement' and I got tons of informations... but I'm not sure if there are synonyms... *looking*

 

Select: Thesaurus before you search for a word....

 

Thesaurus... uhm I don't get how it works... it gives me informations but I don't know how to use them.

 

The words in blue that appear after you search are the Excerpts of the word (the meaning or context in which you want to use the word). They'll give you some examples of the use. Click on the blue word and then it will give you the synonym.

 

ok, thanks.
