thesaurus
"Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite." ~Clive Staples L.

Great quote! The English language has become "watered down" due to its over-use of so many words. Especially love. We love our families, but was also "love" our new cell phones. I think we should all be more conscious of our word usage. Another over-used word is awesome. God is awesome, so what else could possibly be awesome?
