[Tutor] Fwd: thesaurus

[Pete Froslie]

No problem, thanks for taking the time.

I'm actually trying to resolve this error now:

   buff.append(" ".join(lookup(Word) for Word in line.split()))
NameError: global name 'lookup' is not defined

..also assume I need to change 'Word' to something that checks the next word
in the text file and then replaces it with the one that is looked up..
working on that now.
