A quick question for #writers: what's your online thesaurus of choice?
I find myself using search engines' "synonym:foo" *lots* in my writing process, but the set of sites that's returned includes some absolute /trash/. I've got a paperback Roget's (the proper one, here in the UK, not the USA's free-for-all!) but the lure of staying in the flow when typing is too great, so I end up using online searches.
I'm not averse to paying for access to a high-quality resource - any ideas? #Documentation
