KEEPING COPY SPICY: MY GO TOS FOR WORD-FINDING

(NOTE: HOVER OVER BOLDED TEXT FOR LINKS ☺️)

Communication is the sh*t. But sometimes (too often), there is A LOT. Coming at you from your people. And your phone. Your laptop. Your TOASTER. 🀯 

To stand out, make waves and make your mark, your words need to be right, tight and polished. Way harder than it looks! Here are a few of my favourite resources to help create pitch-perfect messaging:  

Power Thesaurus: The most straightforward, easy-to-scroll synonym-finder in the digiverse.

OneLook.com: Not as pretty, but meatier than Power Thesaurus, it’s a full-on everything-word-looker. Seeking “words related to…”, “sounds like…”, “phrases starting (or ending) with…”, “words that spell” or discipline-specific language uses? It has them all. And tons more. 

Urban Dictionary: For all the off-the-wall slang, sayings and weirdness the English language has twisted into meaning. Where high-brow meets…KIDDING. There’s zero high-brow here. And it is freakin’ fabulous!

RhymeZone: For when your rap, lyric or limerick game needs help.

The Online Slang Dictionary: Right up there with Urban Dictionary and brimming with juicy idioms and oddball associations. (Oh, and the only represented-by-a-chilli-pepper-graphic “vulgar-meter” I’ve ever seen.)

And for converting text formatting, random word, topic and password generators + all sorts of other handiness, Capitalize My Title can’t be beat.

What tried and true tools do you swear by? If you love ’em, please shoot ’em my way!
