Make note of everytime you hear someone say, "incredible." By far the most overused word right now. Once you notice it, you won't stop

"amazing" is by far the worst of these

You mean 'gauge' (This is more of a spoken thing, rather than written.)

While these are bad, minus gauge (?) incredible has become a stand in for no less than 3 commonly used words. Good, non credible, and very.
>This pizza was incredible.
>He wrote an essay linking All Saints Day to the rise of Macy's department story, but when we looked into the sources, they were incredible
>After hearing her speak, I wanted to smack her incredibly hard.
It's the classic problem of wanting to use a 5 dollar word when a 50 cent one does just fine, only the word isn't worth 5 dollars

'Very' is the most overused and useless word.
>>
>Anon says yolk instead of yoke
>>
>>24823541
Pleb take. Your 7th grade teachers don't want you to use very because it'll end up in every sentence as a kid wants to hyperbolize, but at least very is plain with a defined purpose.
>>
>>24823571
It's rarely useful and hardly modifies anything.
>She is angry
vs
>She is very angry
Doesnt change anything, she is still angry, and her being 'very angry' is subjective. In such a simple use case, it is useless.

Come on now I use thusly once in my novel and it sounds fine. "Thus" just wouldn't hit the same way. It's a matter of le mot juste
