Spellbound

Short one: For those who miss their school spelling bees, play a round or three at Visual Thesaurus and let me know how you get on.

Tips: Plug a headset into your computer when you’re doing this–computer speakers, even good ones, may not give you as much nuancing as a headset, and the computer’s pronunciation can be a tad confusing without them.

BTW,  Visual Thesaurus, for those of you who haven’t tried it, is a good resource in many ways. The columns are well-written, and interesting, however, and the site is a great idea generator. I very much enjoy its semantic-mapping thesaurus although it rarely adds much; it usually shows me things I’ve already considered and rejected. (Maybe there just aren’t words for what I’m seeking )
