Thsrs: it's a thesaurus, but shorter
Do you type a lot of SMS or Twitter messages? Watching your character count closely? Maybe you should check out the Thsrs, a new thesaurus from Ironic Sans.

Well, David at Ironic Sans thought people needed a little help composing understandable messages "w/o needing 2 use ugly abbrev's." Seems like a fine idea to us! There might still be a few kinks to work out -- one commenter noted that 'awesome' humorously returned 'awful' as a synonym -- but Thsrs worked pretty well when we tested it. Try it yourself, and let your messages be understood!

"awful" originally meant "to fill with awe" before its meaning changed, so that may be why it's listed as a synonym for "awesome"
