Sounds like another inappropriate use of the thesaurus. They think "similar" or "related" words meant to stimulate thinking (which is what tthe thesaurus is for) were actually synonyms.I'm surprised they didn't have them "spew" from the plane... or "be banished". Work backwards from this:http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/eject?s=t
That model was a BOTTOM ejecting unit...
That's just one of the unintended consequences of the publishing industry's move to reformat thesauri into "Thesaurus in Dictionary Form." Once you recast a thesaurus into a list of words, it becomes functionally indistinguishable from a dictionary of synonyms. I currently have six real thesauri on my desk, ranging from a hard-cover edition to a paperback version of the hardcover edition, to a somewhat smaller version of the paperback ... and then three copies of a smaller version that was published a number of years ago by PocketBooks. I don't use them as often now as I used to, but IMHO a real thesaurus is indispensible to anyone who wants to write.
