A Dictionary of Distinctions Volume II

We all know that words have power. We've heard the cliché, "The pen is mightier than the sword." But what gives our words power? I submit that it is not just definition, but the context which those words encompass. Therefore, it is almost impossible to use a thesaurus and replace words that have seemingly exact definitions, for then we have changed the context.

Changing our words changes our context of communication and opens up different possibilities of interpretation. Communication will likely never be perfect, but striving to achieve common understanding amongst ourselves will lead us through the new communications era.
