If you’re trying to use a word whose meaning you’re not clear on you risk using it incorrectly… and even if you don’t do that this stretching often shows in your writing style. Don’t go for the ‘impress my prof’ style… go for the ‘clearly communicate in plain language’ style.

Of course, I just like having the whole OED around, so thanks for the tip ;)

OS X comes with a dictionary and thesaurus built-in. It is well integrated into most apps, including Safari. There is a dashboard widget as well, that I use frequently.
