dalehileman Pooh-Bah Registered: 07/10/05 Posts: 1773 Loc: Apple Valley, CA, USA	A Type-3 for which the Visual Thesaurus gives only one synonym, "varied," though I would have included "diverse" Laverne and I disagree on "varied," which I would place at 2 while she at 1. For instance, in my 76 years I don't believe I've ever heard it in everyday conversation, as "They had varied reactions to his suggestion." More likely in this usage you'd find the Type-1 "different" or even "various" Edited by dalehileman (03/26/07 12:57 PM) _________________________ dalehileman

It happens nearly every time and often I become so distracted I can't remember what I was looking for in the first place. It's really embarrassing.
