i guess we all know the struggle of finding the right word, or finding a word that will say what we truly want to say, even when there are so lovely sides as thesaurus.com/, which provides us all the synonyms and antonyms we can wish fore

so for today, i will spam you with pictures of word charts and list i come across on the net.
you can save them, look them up when you need them or even print them
if you feel like you have to much time on your hand or want to do some handicraft- here is what i did with some of them:
i printed these lovely pictures all out (yes they seem small at the first glance but they still work) glued them on a thin carton - if they were roughly the same size i did a front and a back- and made cards out of them, that i treat roughly when i write and need look something up (sadly i took mine home with me and left them there, so i cant show you a picture right now but i might add them later)



click at the pictures to get to the full size of them

100 words for "good"


190 words for "said"


or go all superlative with 234 words for said:


some rules about commas- if they puzzle you


paragraphs are important, here are the basic rules for them


and here something fun for the ending: someone made a list of what they thought are the most beautiful words in english (really, i never heard of most of them, but some of them have a very nice ring to them)




simple words often mistaken for another chart


words to describe the voice of a person:


and because i use it very often: a reference for for most common owls:



i hope you didnt know all of them already and that some of them might be useful and inspirational!

As a computational linguist, I ADORE these charts! LOOK AT THE WORDS!!!! As a podficcer, I can't express enough how much I love the word "said". Language is a fascinating thing!
