Very good post

Incidentally, following the left side of this post, you could speak in a similar fashion to that of the current US President.

Okay but what if something is very deafening or very frequently?
Groznek
Nope. While you shouldn't overuse "very", you also shouldn't just throw the entire thesaurus at your writings. It's immediately noticeable.
arete5
Right column sounds like first part of spell name in some RPG
jrbickers
same goes for "pretty" we need to stop using it for everything "thats pretty bad" "thats pretty good"
SithariChaos
Very is perfectly acceptable. I will say im very tired if I want to, and shove exhausted up your ass.

The problem is those words have more complex meanings. Being "petrified" isnt just being "very scared." It's being so scared you can't move.

"Very perfect"? How are you any more or less perfect than perfect while still remaining perfect? How is flawless more perfect than perfect?
SirBrendan
I'm very sorrowful but I'm utterly petrified by the absolutely basic and entirely uncompelling rejection of our actually timid adverbs.

I don't like things like this. While they may technically mean the same thing, they have different connotations. Very old fashioned -

- can be a compliment, while archaic really can't, for example.

Perfect is an absolute adjective and doesn't take modifiers. There are no degrees of perfect, either something is perfect or it isn't.
ImOldGreggAndIDrinkBaileysFromAShoe
Not a single word on the right is an alternative to "very"

You are extremely correct.

They're much of a muchness, anyhow.

I was expecting the use of "quite". That's I've trained myself to say
CotterPyke
you're right, they should have just put "very, very"... seen that in too many books to count.

"Extremely" "Insanely" "Especially"

Very = Insanely. I got your back bud.

Yeah, i mean "Deafening Noisy" just sounds goofy.
cjmax630
Something can be varying levels of noisy, but it is either defeaning or it isnt. Your little test doesnt work with 90% of these examples.
DresdenPedalTimpani
Brief short. Well, I guess that could mean brief shorts
mindfuldarkness
Sounds like an underwear title.
Primaltiguere
I don't know if you're joking or not, but it's JUST "deafening", not "deafening noisy". Very noisy = deafening
cjmax630
Very keen of you. By the way, im very wealthy. I hope this has been a very transparent comment. Deafening replaces noisy, not very, silly.
ElynaerDeiros
Yea he was joking. I hope...

CyborgScribe
I think you're supposed to replace both very and the second word with the one word on the right. It was communicated poorly.

Very poorly. Perhaps even destitutely.

Panchothebrave
As in "the consequences are very grave".
TheCellistVirtuoso
Sure but the point of this is replacing "very" with "grave"

See! I got carried away again. So no 'very', the consequences are too grave.

Okay, now try judging the spirit of it instead of the exact wording. The words on the right are replacing both left words, not just very.
jridley
Well, except not really. In many of those cases, the word on the right has a specific meaning that isn't exactly the same as the left.
NorwegianGlaswegian
Indeed, some of the connotations are very off. Big bloody difference between being very poor and destitute for example.
ImOldGreggAndIDrinkBaileysFromAShoe
its meant as an intellectual exercise in vocabulary, how else should it be judged?

(1) So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose.
barnwolf
I don't think I've ever seen the word morose used, either in a novel or in everyday conversation.
ThePinkestPigglet
Normal people say miserable.
ImguriansFillMySaltReservoir
But what if I'm very exhausted?
TheWorldsGreatestPlagueDoctor
I'm approximately almost not alive
ticktockbent
But very tired and exhausted mean different things... they're different degrees of tired
somekindafuckingidiot
except dont use morose cause it just sounds pretentious. "very" pretentious
MundaneFinality
I think you should rarely need to say a man is exhausted or morose in the first place. What does the man do because of his exhaustion?
MundaneFinality
(2) how does the man express his sadness? How does an observer percieve his emotional state.

(2)Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays
PokoOnoandtheJamJams
Very pretencious
RaynWisp
I'm gay, if I say I give very good blowjobs, I don't think the word "excellent" would make it better. You're focusing on the wrong word.
AdmJota
Yeah, to woo women, you'd want to change "blowjobs" to "cunnilingus".
