About Me
I'm about to graduate from college with a degree in English education. I love to read and write, and I signed up for the visual thesaurus both as a way to help me in my creative writing and as a classroom tool.

Favorite Word:
fuckVersitility beyond that of most other words! There's no reason to be offended by such a useful little word! Though of course, I strongly recommend knowing when and where to NOT use it.
Least Favorite Word:
akimboI just can't take any sentence that uses this word seriously. It looks dumb and it sounds dumb.
