101 ; alternatives for commonly used words

the main reason for this is- to reduce over-usage of a word and to sound smart. * ^ * naw, i'm sure you want to. c":
these are a list of common words and their alternatives. there are lots of alternatives, it just depends on how you'll use it in your sentence or how it 'fits' your sentence.

just a side note; avoid overusing the alternatives. if the common word doesn't need to be changed, just- keep it like that.

Chapter 29: if you're accepting requests, could you do a chapter like this one, but with green?
that's a hard color sorry, but it's my bias' favorite so it would be cool to see what pretty pictures are green!
(p.s different shades of green, like mint green, is cool too!)

I have a few requests if you're looking for some!
I would like to know how to make the scroll bar invisible? or at least out of sight.
I really liked your chapter of palettes and patterns. If you find more and would like share I would love to see them!
Who's vs. Whose lol
