Very is overused but has its uses. I think it's a good rule of thumb to avoid using it too much if you want greater impact, although eliminating it entirely would be a loss overall. What gives greater impact is the nuance that comes with having different words with similar meanings. Having a high impact word or phrase necessarily means having something lower impact to contrast against.

Also, the intensification with very isn't quite the same as using the listed intensified words. Challenging is intensified hard as opposed to easy but not to soft. In human terms boiling is very hot and opposed to freezing, but what does that make the sun? It's not a liquid turning into a gas.

No.

No, I like that language is composable. I think it's very convenient. It also allows me to say stuff in a way that's easier to grasp for folks who might not understand English that well. Very dumb suggestion.

Legit criticism! But hear me out. Who remembers all those different words anyway?

Instead of NOT using "very", I say we ONLY use "very".

It's a very idea!

idle does equate to very lazy

this was shit when it was on reddit

Use all the words in the right columns but preceded with "fuckin'" every time. Like a real gentleperson.

I prefer "double plus"

This is extra plus good

Very lazy = idle?

No? Or is my english bad?

Strength and power are different measurements though

Very -> Verraily

Apparently, my stomach is vacant.

This is UUUGE!

Very nice!

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