It turns out that Google is a  writer&#8217;s best friend. Secrecy: not so much. Helping out a fellow writer: yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t know the definition of a word, open up a google window and type \u201cdefine:\u201d followed by the word whose meaning you seek. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"577\" height=\"403\" src=\"http:\/\/www.robertanselmi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/google-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.robertanselmi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/google-01.jpg 577w, http:\/\/www.robertanselmi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/google-01-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While synonyms are displayed in the result under the word, let\u2019s say you want to see the opposite of the word. Easy. Just type in \u201cantonym:\u201d followed by the word whose opposite you want. The antonyms are now displayed under the definition of the word, as opposed to the synonyms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"579\" height=\"305\" src=\"http:\/\/www.robertanselmi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/google-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.robertanselmi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/google-02.jpg 579w, http:\/\/www.robertanselmi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/google-02-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you want to see translations or conversions, use \u201cin\u201d within the search.
