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. Put in the grandiloquent word you were planning to use, and it will give you a shorter synonym to help you save characters while still making sense.

What inspired Thsrs? 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!
