Very

by adewpearl


some words should be put to bed


Exorbitantly expensive
Outrageously offensive
Unreasonably defensive
Exhaustively comprehensive

Boringly uneventful
Vindictively resentful
Shamelessly disrespectful
Malevolently vengeful

Delightfully alliterative
Outlandishly prohibitive
Tastelessly acquisitive
Annoyingly inquisitive

If "very" is a word you overuse,
consider some alternatives to choose.

Some words have been used enough times to retire them, bury them, ground them into dust!! "Very" is one of them - truly, is there ever a time we can't find a better
alternative? I once started to compile a list for my students, and I considered writing one of those "how-to" essays with a lengthy list, but I decided to select a few examples to post in poetic form. Everyone here is a writer who can come up with hundreds of additional alternatives while composing and editing.
