Default Which thesaurus are you using?

Would any of you copywriting dudes share which thesaurus you've found to be the most useful?

Arrow Re: Which thesaurus are you using?

I've been using Mobysaurus - a free PC program aimed at copywriters.

Here's a download link: Download Mobysaurus Thesaurus - Freeware Software - Tucows

Also use some hard copy thesauri and reference books, like

- Words That Sell
- Phrases that sell
- American Slang Dictionary
- I Never Met a Metaphor I Didn't Like
- As One Mad With Wine

One more PC program I like is (also free) is Wordnet:

Download -*WordNet - Download

Dictionary and Thesaurus - Merriam-Webster Online

It's handy. I keep it in my bookmarks menu.

Honestly, I just use the Microsoft Word Thesaurus most often... I just type in the word I want to use then hit Shift + F7

"I am the happiest man alive. I have that in me that can
convert poverty to riches, adversity to prosperity,
and I am more invulnerable than Archilles; Fortune hath not one place to hit me."
-Sir Thomas Browne
