So that we can express ourselves without sounding plain and boring. For example, when someone asks you how the eclipse was, it sounds much better to say, "It was phenomenal,"rather than, "It was cool; it's strange how science works." A lot of people like people with larger vocabularies. A thesaurus is great to use when you are writing and looking for just the right word.
