"If you don't know the connotation of a particular verb, the best way to find out quickly is to enter it into your word processing software's 'thesaurus" function. You can also go to and click the 'thesaurus' radio button for a list of synonyms., Of course, there's always the old book-style thesaurus, as well."

I like how the book refers to electronic sources first and then books.
