      Doesn’t matter, it’s a very useful list to counter tik-tok brain damage.

        If we are trying to counter brain damage then it actually does matter that we use the correct words for things.

      Listen, I’m fatigued beyond imagination and incapable of reading this prosaic litany of mundane drivel.

    You can put ‘very’ before every suggested alternative. What then?

      I teach foreign language students and they often write about how their food was “very delicious”, and it always sounds so jarring to me. There are a lot of really strong words that native speakers tend to not use very with.

      eg:
      very difficult task / very monumental task
      very good cooking / very superb cooking
      very happy man / very elated man

      For some reason intensifiers like so and such don’t have those restrictions:

      The task was very/so monumental.
      It was very/such superb cooking.
      He was very/so elated.

        Bring ‘fucking’ into it and even native speakers say how fucking delicious the food was.

        It’s funny how it suddenly appears to work with “fucking” but “very” is weird.
