A “WORD” ABOUT SYNONYMS (ha ha) These lists are
student-generated synonyms for some of the more commonly words used in our
language. Not every synonym will
work in every speaking or writing situation. For example, If one were to say, ”she is being
very cold to me,” they would probably not say, “she is being very
freezing to me.” One
should also be cautious when using slang words. While they may work for the casual register, most are not
appropriate or effective when writing or speaking in the formal register.
Lastly, one could argue that some of these words are not synonyms for the
selected words, and also that some synonyms have been left out. Yes, that is true! You be the judge! |
