Hi, I’m an arts charity. You may know me from some of my greatest hits, such as “art is actually really important”, “that painting is in copyright” and “there isn’t funding for that”.
Hi, I'm the thesaurus. You might know me from some of my greatest hits, such as "Their, they're, and there are not synonyms," "Sometimes bad is a synonym for good," and "If you can't remember a word, I've got options for you."
