I am done. I just read a post on a thread here at DL that contained the word “amazing” four times. You bitter old queens haven’t been truly “amazed” in decades. Find a more descriptive word, or go back to grammar school. There’s apps to increase your word power.....use them!
Take the word “amazing” out of your vocabulary NOW.

Someone's been reading "Dreyer's English." He abhors words like "amazing" and "actually" and even "very," which he derides as "wan intensifiers."

I don’t mind amazing as much as problematic.

From my heart, OP, please listen. .. If you wish to remain on DL, you must remember that ONLY WHEN we've called on you AFTER your sweaty little hand is raised, will we acknowledge your existence. That's a far cry from allowing you to voice your opinion. Your post today is proof of why this works.
I understand the pandemic has put the nerves of some of us slightly on edge. And we direct that stress where it will best serve us: to loved ones and close relatives. We don't do it here on DL.

OP should take "I am done" out of his vocabulary. It is lazy, slangy and suggests he has an IQ too low for informed opinions about English usage or anything else.

I agree.
Everything is AMAZING. Omg this weather is amazing. Omg your hair is amazing. Omg this coffee is amazing.

Kyle’s husbear, Mauricio, on HW of BH says that cringe worthy superlative ALL the fucking time. But then he seems to be baked, ALL the time too. But who wouldn’t, married to that house stealing whore.

The word ‘amazing’ is a weak word like the words ‘disgusting’ and ‘offensive’.
It says more about the person speaking than about the object being described.
It’s not an objective description suitable to be used in a court of law.

I disagree about the word offensive, at least in the workplace. If you hit someone back with, “that’s offensive!” they will go on the defensive and back down. (I’m specifically referring to supervisors and bosses.)
