    Disagree with much on here, most egregious being replacing 'but' with 'moreover' etc.

    Nice try, but a swing and a miss.

    I can't help but wonder that if you don't know or use these words already it's may be too late. Synonyms are rarely interchangeable, each with their own connotations depending on your upbringing, or geographic location of your education. If I ever used the word 'jolly' in the UK I imagine I'd be shunned by my friends. I suspect I wouldn't even be understood by most speakers of English as a second language unless they were French

    What a crock. Sure, it's true that some of these words are overused and it wouldn't hurt for folks to search for creative alternatives. But how is "fine" more interesting than "awesome?" And do we really want to start routinely substituting "pleasurable" for "fun" at every opportunity? "John sure is pleasurable to be around." FAIL. "That was a pleasurable party." FAIL.

    seriously? 'exceedingly' instead of 'very'? "Josh, your twitter post was exceedingly boring" no... just no

    Not this shit again. All these words depend on the context you're using them in. Even if it is just for writing, this is useless. "Have to" is not synonymous with "need to". I can see a lot of dumb twats reading this and then replacing words without thinking of the context. Instead of "very cool", the suggested replacement is "exceedingly marvellous". What?
