So that's what we call..."All-purpose intensifiers." So that's what we call those! What an incredibly useful phrase! (sorry) If I am ever called upon to deliver a sermon (and I dream of that day, although I am a lay person) I promise to respect your most reasonable ban on incredible and all its variations. <BR/><BR/>Would you mind if we added "amazing" to that list of temporarily banned words as well? For me it signifies nothing, and takes the place of better words which might convey actual information. But maybe that's just me.<BR/><BR/>Peace through more precise language...suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17606494812564984595noreply@blogger.com
