I was working on a Word document this morning when I needed a feature that I rarely use. I was left wondering if there is any other word for "Thesaurus"  Can you come up with another comment or question that matches this theme? If not, get back to work.

I always wondered why "abbreviation" is such a long word. And the abbreviation of it "abbrev." is also ridiculously long. |

There is the classic acronym of WWW, which has three times as many syllables as actually saying World Wide Web. (Douglas Adams is the originator of that one). Diminutive, there's a word that fails to describe itself. |

I'm just in from work and I am surprised that no one has asked- What is the definition of a dictionary?

I do love it when a definition just gives a different/longer/(and often) equally obscure word.
