I'm a teacher, spending my 'holiday' doing all sorts of tasks that I don't get time for in term-time. I've spent today compiling an epic list of synonyms for all sorts of words (nice, said, walk, etc).
Now I'm doing colours. I cannot find my ancient printed thesaurus and the Microsoft one is crap for colours. If I paste my list of colour words so far, can you wise MNers please add any more that you can think of?
to you all [thanks, gratitude, appreciation, recognition, cheers, ta!]
