Remember when you were a kid and some musty old English teacher told you not to use the thesaurus for feared you would use a word you were not familiar with in some awkward construction?

Remember those days when you knew you know perfectly well how to spell 'thesaurus' but it would not come to you?

Think of how useful Spellcheck is, but how it is terribly limited until you look up and teach it how to spell an everyday word like 'methylenedioxymethamphetamine'.

Perhaps you felt that rolling the dictionary table over with its ponderous 12-pound unabridged Random House dictionary, or digging up the looking-glass out to read the tiny print of the OED, would permit your creative fires to cool. Sometimes you must...

...but you're hot to go! You need a reference NOW. INSTANTLY. A quick-draw book of words.

So it has come to pass.

Check out http://www.sequencepublishing.com/thesage.html

It sits on the taskbar and pops up almost instantly, linked to almost any writing program. I will Copy a word, click on The Sage, and POP!, there's my word.

Learn synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms, hyponyms, meronyms, holonyms and other classes of alternatives for your chosen word in seconds.

IT'S FREE.

It doesn't have EVERY WORD for your use, but over 200,000. I believe in the future you will be able to 'teach' it more words. It has nearly 1,200,000 relationships between definitions. It has over 35,000 examples.

It is a no-shit wonderful tool.

I am hyping this, not for money, and I dislike giving up my advantage over you if you are a neophyte, newbie, pretender, poseur, quill and scroll whore, but now, in my venerable old age, looking death full in the face, I am trying desperately to purchase immortality by being generous with the likes of you.

You can thank me when you see for yourself.

Sincerely,
Thunderpen Skykinwrite
