    She/he probably used www.thesaurus.com
    Type in a word like "strange" and it spits out a word like "preternatural". Very handy for writing poetry/songs/hate mail to your ex-girlfriend...

    There's been a guy on another forum I frequent doing something similar - even down to getting the meaning of the words wrong (but he's far worse than Mr Dictionary). Everyone assumed he was using the thesaurus in Word. Unless there's a site that'll translate an entire passage of perfectly readable English into mumbo-jumbo English doing the double-click in the Word thesaurus is probably faster (and with more unintelligible results).

    Etymology is the work of satan himself.

    Avoid it as one would the buebonic plague.

    Heh, well in fairness to the little codger - other people named him Mr. Dictionary as he posted first as Unregistered, through time he created a nick and gave himself the title bestowed on by others.
