Would tenacious describe you and your commitment to your home business? Do you need to look that one up before you give a resounding “YES!”?

s]

One of my favorite online tools for writing is the Dictionary and Thesaurus found at http://dictionary.reference.com/
The dictionary page not only has the typical visual dictionary pronunciation breakdown of the word and the list of possible meanings, but it also has a sound feature that speaks the word to you. That is so cool, just click the speaker icon and turn up your speakers and listen. Never have to wonder how a word is pronounced again.
If you are at all like me, you find yourself using some of the same words throughout a post – boring! But the Thesaurus search gives you all kinds of ideas for alternative words, so your writing stays fresh and captivating.
| Main Entry: | tenacious |
| Part of Speech: | adjective |
| Definition: | strong, unyielding |
| Synonym: | adamant, determined, dogged, persevering, persistent, purposeful, relentless, resolute, retentive, strong-willed, stubborn, unshakable |
| Antonyms: | surrendering, weak, yielding |
So is it a resounding (or according to my Thesaurus search, unequivocal) YES? Comment below and let me know.
