Semantics

We all use words interchangeably. That is why there is a Thesaurus. Most people never refer to one anymore and after writing that word, it looks like a dinosaur. Notice the syllable "saur". The other day I was speaking to my sister about what word we use when we want to make sure something is not discarded and we need to put a note on that item. She said she uses "save". My father likes to use "hold". My nephew says "keep". After thinking for a second, I realized that I write "do not throw out". We are four people from the same family and have four different ways to get our point across.
