Introduction

Celebrate National Thesaurus Day on Jan. 18! This day honors the first published thesaurus, which was created by Peter Mark Roget in 1852. Since then, many other versions of the book have been produced and it has become an essential tool for writers and scholars alike. On this day, take some time to explore all of the creative ways one can use a thesaurus to express themselves more accurately and creatively through their writing or speech.
