Happy Thesaurus Day!
How vast is your knowledge of verbiage and word structure? Are quite proficient or are you still requiring more education? Well, today's holiday is a great day to set some time aside and learn.
Happy Thesaurus Day! Today was created in honor of Peter Mark Roget, author of the Roget's Thesaurus. In case you weren't aware, a thesaurus is a compilation of grouped words that share similar definitions. Fun fact: Thesaurus is derived from the Greek word, thesauros, which means treasure or storehouse.
