Your lab
ought to get the Nobel Prize for this. What an astounding achievement. How in heaven's
name did you figure it out?
|
|
|
It's about
time someone came up with this resource -- Bravo! (and, I wish I had thought of it first!)
|
|
|
A
brilliant tool for writers, more useful than dictionary or thesaurus because it opens the
door to so many creative possibilities.
|
|
|
Connonyms
- this is THE coolest thing I've come across, and I've had many years of writing courses
and workshops.
|
|
|
I think
this reference could become a standard!
|
|
|
Sounds
indispensable to me.
|
|
|
Extremely
useful if the software version is totally searchable
|
|
|
Microsoft
Word should have this, they already have a normal thesaurus
|
|
|
I can see
getting new symbols and metaphors without frying my brain
|
|
|
Could this
one be sold together with the connotative dictionary, with a price break? I would prefer
this because I'd want both.
|
|
|
I would
love it and use it all the time
|
|
|
Very good.
I would definitely use this tool.
|
|
|
This
sounds even more useful for writing.
|
|
|
Lets hope
they don't end up charging $100. That would be a shame because lots of people would like
to use these tools and this one in particular.
|
|
|
Its
exactly what I've been looking for to expand my creative abilities in evoking emotional
responses to carefully chosen words. I have been having problems coming up with the
perfect word combos. I definitely will own one of these!
|
|
|
The
Emotional Thesaurus goes into more depth and gives you more avenues for word searches. It
is an exciting find for me.
|
|
|
If you can
really do this - WOW!
|
|
|
This would
be a perfect tool for writers, be they beginners or professionals.
|
|
|
Fascinating
-- the graphics are critical.
|
|
|
This may
take some getting used to but again...it is useful. VW Beetle = Pumpkin? Interesting.
|
|
|
Would be
more likely to use this than the dictionary
|
|
|
Never
heard of anything like this but can see the value & would buy it regardless of book or
electronic form. Endless uses for it.
|
|
|
Good
thinking, keep on it.
|
|
|
I think
this would be a very useful tool.
|
|
|
This I
would use a lot. Emotional images are of great importance. I wonder though, how much I
would agree with other's definitions (?). But a great guide!!!!
|
|
|
I'd use
this all the time but wouldn't want my teacher to know! She'd think I'm a poetic genius!
|
|
|
Fascinating
concept. Don't know how you could get "connonyms" out of the language. This I
gotta see....
|
|
|
I also
would consider purchasing a CD-Rom
|
|
|
Would
there be separate editions produced for different cultures (eg US/UK)? [Editor's
reply: Yes, definitely.]
|
|
|
Make it
downloadable
|
|
|
This would
be a great tool, but consider those whose financial situation is tedious.
|
|
|
Very
interesting!
|
|
|
This would
be very useful to advertising people
|
|
|
I'd buy
this before I would buy the dictionary. Is this to come out soon?
|
|
|
As with
the Emotional Dictionary this would work if the words were identified in origin.
|
|
|
Interesting,
but strange!
|
|
|
I'd be
interested if it were part of a package deal. Or if I browsed through it some more and was
intrigued. And as the direction of my creative nonfiction writing develops - may find I
would benefit from it.
|
|
|
Well
done!! When & where can I buy it?
|
|
|
I hope
this becomes a standard reference for use in the schools and in college.
|
|
|
Will your
site accept Visa or MasterCard when you have it available?
|
|
|
This is
what writing is all about.
|
|
|
Although I
prefer books, this would perhaps be just as useful as a software program provided it had
extensive search functions.
|
|
|
I've never
seen anything like this!
|
|
|
Change the
name....Connotative Thesaurus.
|
|
|
More
useful than an emotional dictionary.
|
|
|
Impressive.
(if it can be done accurately)
|
|
|
This
should be COMBINED with the dictionary. Especially when published in electronic format.
The thesaurus and the dictionary are two sides of THE SAME COIN. I wouldn't think to
separate these.
|
|
|
The exact
meaning of each synonym should be easily retrievable or better yet available right away at
the first search of the word; the proper usage clearly spelled out, and the degrees of
emotions ranked.
|
|
|
This would
also be so great for Advertisers use. Classroom use.
|
|
|
I wanna
use it on this freakin' site!!!
