• Seeking Riveting TV Series Recommendations - Unleash the Mystery!

  Resident Alien. But not sure why I'm even answering when your suggestions were sub-par and the furthest thing from 'riveting' - try looking that word up on onelook.com bc I think that word doesn't mean what you think it means. Source: 11 months ago

• What are your go-to resources?

  Personally, OneLook Dictionary is my life's blood; especially the thesaurus version. Writer Duet is also great for screenwriting if you are like me and don't have the brain to remember the formatting (plus I think you can collab with other people on it, like G_Docs? I can't remember). Source: over 1 year ago

• What dictionary site do you use?

  For personal use by learners, OALD is as good a dictionary as any; I also cite Macmillan, Collins COBUILD, or Longman. They aren't freely licensed, so you can't republish or re-use their entries, but they're free at the point of delivery, and you can use sites like Wordnik or OneLook to search multiple online dictionaries at once.

• Pronounce GIF · the Correct Way, Without Question

  I'm confused by the "Front Vowels" argument, since it doesn't seem to hold particularly well for /ɪ/ (the "i" in gif). I took a look at onelook for all "gi" words, sorted by commonness [1]. Out of the first 30 words I count using the /ɪ/ sound, I see: 18 with a Hard G (gift, gig, gill, gilt, gigabyte, give, gibbous, gild, git, giggle, gingham, ginkgo, giddy, gimlet, gibbon, gifted, gimp, gimmick) * 12 with... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Not a teen, but found this chart and thought it may help people when writing

  I often use onelook.com's reverse dictionary for this purpose. I can type in "sad and disgusted" and get words like: desolate, sick, sullen, aghast, appalled, crushed, devastated, heartstricken, etc... There is a lot of junk to weed through because it casts a wider net than a thesaurus, and I can type in a description of what I'm looking for, then hone in on it. Source: about 2 years ago
