Visual Thesaurus

Words Searched:  Guilty

Definitions:

Finable-liable to a fine

Delinquent-guilty of a misdeed

Culpable-deserving blame or censure as being wrong or evil or injurious

I often use a thesaurus to find alternative words if I tend to be constantly using the same word over and over.  It helps me expand my vocabulary and learn new meanings to similar words.  I tend to look up new words when writing papers, and coming up with action words for my resume/cover letters.  I have never really had much trouble using a thesaurus, due to the fact they are pretty straight forward.  

I would not consider myself much of a word nerd, but it does become useful when broadening your overall vocabulary.
