You have to be careful when using a thesaurus for synonyms and<br>
antonyms. The results will provide exact matches and a selection of<br>
near matches which can be used depending on context.<br>
Some will give the completely wrong meaning for a particular context.<br>
e.g. pupil can be a scholar or a part of an eye.<br>
For examples, see <<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synonym" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synonym</a>><br>
<br>
This can produce odd-sounding results, especially if translating to a<br>
foreign language using a foreign dictionary with vocabulary that you<br>
are less familiar with, causing a native speaker to burst out<br>
laughing.<br>
