What Is Another is an information based website designed to provide you the answers to questions you have arise in every day life.
The basic definition of the word, another, is “Any of various alternatives” or from Encarta, “additional to, repeating, or following one that came before or was previously mentioned.” Every day, we come across questions that require alternative answers to the first one we think of, whether it is just another word, or another potential solution to help solve a problem.
Although you may think these problems naturally lead to just looking up alternative words in a Thesaurus, looking up alternatives to questions, solutions, and words requires a more semantic approach to solving problems. For example, just looking at the technology niche, a common question that arises with students and parents in the fall is trying to find what is another word processing program that I or my child can use arises a significant number of times. The first thought may be to purchase a commercial solution to the family’s problem such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Office, but a semantic solution would show that there are actually several free alternatives that the family can choose from to include Google Documents or the Open Office software suite.
Another area that commonly requires answers to alternative choices is when looking for options in hotel reservations or lodging when traveling to college campuses or to see sporting events outside of your home town. In case your favorite hotel is booked at your planned destination, you will need to look up what is another hotel in the city I am visiting.
And of course, just looking up “what is another word for” is a common use of search engines now-a-days which have become the de-facto thesaurus for today’s high school and college students.
That being said, this website is new, so it will take us some time to build a suitable library of answers to your questions on potential alternatives. Please use the contact form to pass any questions that you have which are not posted already and we will do our best to answer in an expeditious manner.
To better respond to what our site visitors want to read, we will be providing another location for folks to look up college basketball and tournament information as well as other bits and pieces from cooking tips to you name it!
