A synonym is a word or phrase that means the same thing, or almost the same thing, as
another word or phrase. Using synonyms can make your writing interesting and reduce
repetition.
You can also use synonyms to get at more specific shades of meaning. If something is not
just "good", but "very, very good," you might use a stronger synonym like "magnificent,"
rather than writing so many "verys."
