I was wondering whether you knew of an online dictionary where you could find a word and other words derived from it.
Like, for instance, "passion", "passionate" "passionately" etc.
> Highest of lords and humblest of dwellers, Millers and bakers and fortune-tellers, Went through the land and looked through the air, Finding no lady as noble and fair.
> Highest of lords and humblest of dwellers, Millers and bakers and fortune-tellers, On princely orders looked everywhere, Finding no girl more noble and fair.
It's good exercise / It's a good exercise Different meanings. =)

@CowperKettle I actually disagree with that. I think "that's great" can very often be dismissive, but everything depends on context and tone of voice. I can say it 100% sincerely, and I sometimes do, so I don't think it's inherently sarcastic.

But when you're typing online, you might need to be careful since you don't have tone of voice or body language to let people know whether you're being sincere or sarcastic and dismissive. You just have the surrounding linguistic context, really.

Like, if I were to type "Ooh, that's great! I'm so happy for you!" and I go on to ask some sincere questions, I'm signalling that I really do care and I want to know more. But if I just type "That's great." and I stop talking, that could definitely sound dismisive.
