Steven Wright on another word for Thesaurus
Hello,
This quote comes from comedian Steven Wright: What's another word for Thesaurus?
A thesaurus, which he unnecessarily capitalizes, is a book that gives us words that mean the same thing. Look up food and you can find these words: food, meat, bread, provisions, fare, edible, and foodstuff.
We could call a thesaurus a book of synonyms, but my thesaurus presents no options when I search for thesaurus.
Best,
Tom

Do you have a garden with corn in it?
Hello,
Do you have a garden with corn in it? In America, we say "knee high by the 4th of July." That is, your corn should be knee high by the 4th of July.
We never say if we are talking about the knees of short or tall people though.
Best,
Tom
