I don’t know if this is a very good idea
Very lazy = idle?
No? Or is my english bad?
Indolent.
Kinda, kinda not. To me, idle means “not doing anything at the moment”, e.g. “standing idly by”, which is definitely different than “very lazy”.
Yeah. Same.
Strength and power are different measurements though
Apparently, my stomach is vacant.
Very helpful
very cool, thank you.
You’re very welcome.
Very -> Verraily
Veraiously?
Me very meticulously checking every word to see why this in in shitpost.
The shitpost was that we both wasted our time
yeah some of these aren’t accurate
Verily
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.
Reads comment. Looks up list. Ah, he means it’s a foolish suggestion. Splendid.

Not grammar

A lot of these have different connotations
Yeah, “idle” is much milder than “very lazy” imo
“Hmmm you’re very dirty 😏”
“Hmmm you’re filthy 😏”
“That you are able to take responsibility for your your mistakes is very big of you.”
“That you are able to take responsibility for your your mistakes is huge of you.”
Nope, not the same.
It is definitely not a grammatical issue, but it a good rule of thumb for writing, particularly academic writing. One of the first things that was drilled into me as an English major was to drop, “very,” and find a better adjective.
Also, yeah, a lot of these are very poor matches, especially without context, but one of my favorite things about the English language is that it is a very large, redundant language, but none of our words have the exact same connotation. Big, large, huge, enormous, gigantic, tremendous, mammoth, gargantuan, and humongous are all technically synonyms, but all conjure different images in the reader.
But yeah, telling someone to say, “fragile,” instead of, “very weak,” is dumb, given they could mean, “delicate,” or, “feeble.” And if you’re not writing a term paper, just say, “very.”

This has nothing to do with grammar.
Doesn’t matter, it’s a very useful list to counter tik-tok brain damage.
Stop saying very
very very words
“Very busy” and “overloaded” are wildly different things.
As are very hot and boiling, very lazy and idle, very nervous and anxious, and like a good third more of these.
Very useful

This is UUUGE!
