"With dictionaries, I spend a great deal more time looking up words I know than words I have never heard of—at least ninety-nine to one. The dictionary definitions of words you are trying to replace are far more likely to help you out than a scattershot wad from a thesaurus. If you use the dictionary after the thesaurus, the thesaurus will not hurt you." John McPhee, Draft No. 4 https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/04/29/draft-no-4 |
