Verbtionary

A problem I run into a lot while working with PowerShell is trying to find the right verb to use for a function. PowerShell functions are by convention named with the form {Verb}-{Noun}, and while the Noun can vary wildly (and is in fact often more "the rest of the sentence" than a noun per se), the Verb is supposed to conform to a list of approved PowerShell verbs. Sometimes finding the right verb is easy, especially if the verb you're looking for is already in the list, but sometimes it can be a challenge!

I hacked up an Azure function that hits the Merriam-Webster thesaurus API to look up synonyms for a given search and then sees which of them are included in the output of [Get-Verb](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/modul

#ABOUT: #

After talking with a colleague about some stuff, I came to this realization that the ARSC user experience could use some explaining too. At the same time, I've had my own issues with wanting to run things without having admin priveleges, which I'm not used to. In addition to that, the ARSC workstation setups have their own SNAFUS for us to deal with.
