Once in a while, I cast an eye over what people write and it puzzles me to see that some are inveterate users of the word amazing, as if it has just being pulled out of the hat. That particular hat we usually pull out pompous sayings to make the sale.
It’s laughable since, by now, whenever one
reads amazing, one knows that it is definitely not, because one has already
experienced what amazing is and will say pass to that from now on. If you wish,
amazing is the younger sister of the word wow, which no longer stands for
anything valuable.
And let’s not forget about interesting,
even though I must admit that I’ve noticed people stopped using it. Now, they
prefer using challenging.
