Default Re: Synonymizer - need synonyms list

We compiled a synonym list, as a .txt plain file, rating the degree of word equivalence: 100, 80 or 60%.

This list is short (less than 1000 words) and we need to enlarge it using any synonym list or dictionary. However, we cannot get a good one. Most thesaurus are coded inside a software or website, and we cannot export the word list to a plain file.

Anyone who can contribute such a list will be rewarded: credits in the software screen, free copies of the final software, or even a few dollars.

We are also adding some other writing-help tools, like a word frequence analyzer, in order to make a nice tool.

Thanks for any input!

What a project! Most English words that are considered synonyms are only synonyms in certain contexts. This is going to be very tough.
