Thing#11 Visual Thesaurus

For this exercise I wanted to use the word company. I chose this word because I have been using it a lot in this blog and the blog I am doing for the Personal Statement project. I also have used this word a lot in other classes when writing papers trying to compare separate companies. When I typed this word into the visual thesaurus a ton of suggestions popped up. Two of the obvious ones that stood out were establishment and institution. The other stuff that popped up would actually be helpful if I was doing a paper about a certain type of company. The other words had a bunch of different industries before the word company. One of the best features of this site is when you hover over a word and definitions pop up that help you better understand what the words mean. When I do need a thesaurus I usually use the one that Microsoft Word provides when writing papers. If I am online I just go to dictionary.com and they have a thesaurus on that website that I use. Other than that I don't really use a thesaurus.
