Have you noticed, that perfectly innocent words like 'nice', 'tolerable' 'satisfying' have grown to have a negative connotation? I mean, so much so that, it's as good as insulting to describe a boy or a dress as 'nice'. We have to be extreme in the choice of our adjectives - It was awesome. The food was divine, the music was awful, mind blowing, fantabulous, abysmally pathetic …..
I admit that I am guilty of this sin too. We have to return to more steady adjectives and reverse this adjective extremism.

i guess it's like inflation :) a "nice" today is only the same worth as a "passable" a few decades back..
