don’t say “very accurate”; say “exact”

First line of this infographic is already deeply misleading. It’s the equivalent of:

don’t say “very good”; say “perfect”

It’s overly superlative compared to what it’s trying to replace. “Exact” is inherently “very accurate”, but “very accurate” is not inherently “exact”.

Very pretentious

that’s a very good list.

Instead of “it hurt very much” you can say “it hurt a fuckton.”

Alternatively, instead of using the “very” prefix, you can use the “as fuck” suffix. Check it out: Noisy as fuck. Tasty as fuck. Important as fuck. If you really want to underline your point though, combine them. For example, when you want to express the gravity of the situation or something, say “This situation is very grave as fuck!”. See what I mean? Now that’s what I call very eloquent as fuck prose, shit that’ll suck the air out of the room for sure.

No

Very nice!

Or just use “very” so everyone understands.

This list is very silly.

Not just because the meanings are off for many of them and “very” is fun to use sometimes, but because you need multiple replacement options for the different contexts of common adjectives. It would’ve been more helpful to provide 4-5 options for 25-30 words.

But it’s not meant to be helpful, it’s not a YSK, it’s just an ad for some proofreading company.

But I want to use a modifier for the added emphasis

These kinds of prescriptive gimmicks are very exasperating, imo.

I only use the ten hundred words that people use the most

If you just read the right side, the last word sounds like a noun.

Blurry. But yes… Comprehensive.
