"...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. 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."
--John Keating, Dead Poet’s Society
I have been guilty of this in the past, very guilty indeed!
