Anonymous  +  147683 Fri, 14 Oct 05 04:47 AM English is abundant in synonyms compared to my own language, which dramatically addes a lot difficulty to my english learning. so it would be helpful for me to think of all possible synonyms of each new word i get to know. specifically for the word "annex", i come up with "incorporate, include, integrate". but i'm disappointed to see in the online synonym dictionary that integrate is not in its long list of synonyms it provides. so could someone tell me in which sense integrate can not serve as a synonym for annex. thank u all.   Anonymous Synonyms
