My passive vocabulary is much larger than my active vocabulary, so there are many times when I can't think of the right word, only a common word with a somewhat similar meaning. At those times, a thesaurus could help me find the right word (that I already know, but only passively). | |

That's probably due in part to my not being a native speaker, but in general, Koreans tend to do what other Koreans are doing. So that in itself is a gap in culture from what we do in the West in trying to seek individuality, including our speech patterns. | |
