I stand behind my rule that 'very unique' still sounds stupid.
FABULOUS! Seriously, there were about ten words I was totally spelling WRONG before I started blogging!
Paul is right - "very unique" is stupid. Something is either unique or it isn't - this is not a relative term.
Almost as annoying as the use of the word "entitled" to mean "titled."
Just saying... I really love words.
Lay a table, lay an egg… It's a transitive verb that needs an object.
love this post! thanks!
Thanks for this, it's going to be a huge help one day.
