You would be wrong.


Take effective: Use "playing hard ball", "wicked" or "trenchant" today instead of "effective". What results did you get? I predict that "playing hard ball" will not adequately convey your message. "Wicked" will convey the wrong message. And people won't know that "trenchant" could be quite insulting because people are generally dumb.


But when it's all said and done and people ask you "What's with you today?" Just tell them that the thesaurus made you do it.
