i'm in a coffeshop ostensibly working on a paper, and i've already scribbled a few lines that made me cringe and say "good god, what on earth is that?" in a james mason accent. anyway, what's that word that means like an impetus or a motivation or an impule or a thrust, kind of a military sounding word, that starts with an I? much appreciated.

to give you a feel for how it's going, what's the plural of "albatross"? Albatrossi?

why are you writing about albatrosses? and you know there's a thesaurus.com, right?

guys, i know it seems like "dictionary.com" and "thesaurus.com" should be the leading authorities since they've got the domain names, but I think you're way better off with www.m-w.com.

I'm also cringing my way through a paper. I don't think a thesaurus is going to help much.

Incidently if anyone has 1,000 words or so of vague bullshit about the Antonine Wall, post it, I'll paste it in to the vague bullshit I've already written, hope for a D pass and then I can go the fuck home.

When it comes to the thesauraus, m-w is little help. As a dictionary, it's a viking.

Rime


I was referring to the underground ripoff version, penned 4 years after Coleridge released the original, in 1794. It was written by Jebediah Cornwhale, and was about a lonely seaman who befriends an albatross on his way to Atlantis.

I'm surprised you didn't know that.
