Are you ever stuck for a word, or a word with the same meaning as some other word? … you need a dictionary, or a thesaurus.
If you are on a Mac laptop, try the desktop application Dictionary, as shown here in this tutorial.
Often you need a dictionary in the “online” world, and like The Free Dictionary for its great online presence as a dictionary resource (+ Thesaurus, Acronyms and Abbreviations, Idioms, Encyclopedia, a Literature Reference Library (via the website)), and its ease of use for programmers.
