I think this is pretty nifty. I can't believe they have spent 44 years on one thesaurus. Hopefully it can help some of the uneducated in the country to become smarter, and allow the counrty to move up on the list of smart countries...maybe.

    I love the title: "Labour of Linguistic Love". And after forty-four years, it really couldn't have been anything less than "love" to keep the people putting the thesaurus together motivated. Way to go, us!
