Question

The Synonyms submenu offers a list of synonyms for a word. Is it always a good idea to use whatever synonyms are presented on the Synonyms submenu for a given word? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Synonyms are sometimes NEARLY the same. Not exactly the same. Therefore the meanings can change a bit. For example a synonym for "bad" is "careless."

"I think corn is bad."

and

"I think corn is careless." - this sentence wouldn't make sense.

That's why, no, you shouldn't ALWAYS use the synonym.
