I tend to use 'amazing' a lot and it bothers me when I use it. I try to use other words where appropriate. The problem is that most other words that come to my mind have extra baggage... I mean they wouldn't be 2 separate words if they had the exactly same meaning. More often I can't find any word that would adequately describe the idea I'm trying to convey, so I end up having to settle for a word I feel I use way too often like 'horrible' or 'terrible'. It actually bothers me a lot. I get OCD pretty badly while writing, especially when I'm paying attention to it like now. |
