Hopefully you use it well. I shudder to think of some of the papers I wrote back in my classes. I would try to use the thesaurus to reword my sentences, and what came out was incomprehensible.

Original sentence: George Washington was one of the great founders of our country.
After Thesuarus: George Washington was certain of the large begetters of our rural.

(And yes, I was tempted to say, "George Washington was certain of the large shapeshifters of our rural.")
