I can't recommend any good thesauruses (thesauri?), but I can recommend some good reference books: Wilson Follett's "Modern American Usage" (1965) Bryan Garner's "Oxford Dictionary of American Usage & Style" (1989) Sir Ernest Gowers's "Plain Words/The Complete Plain Words" (1965) I have these three & I really do recommend them highly. Wilson Follett, Jacques Barzun, Bryan Garner & Ernest Gowers are four of my heroes.

Those sound nice enough, but unless they have entries for "McJob" and "jiggy," I totally don't care. Dig it?

"Company" - Rickie Lee Jones
"Blue" - Joni Mitchell "Love's Recovery" - Indigo Girls "Happy, the End" - The Innocence Mission "Ten Years Gone" - Led Zeppelin "Gypsy" - Fleetwood Mac "Sisters of the Moon" - Fleetwood Mac "Dream On" - Aerosmith "Fogtown" - Michelle Shocked "Welcome Me" - Indigo Girls This completely excludes anything from the jazz/standards era. They are completely different eras and I can't compare them. |
