    Two of the most overused adjectives in media articles these days..."stunning" and "breathtaking".

    I commented on this to my other half t’other day as had overheard someone thanking someone using adjectives such as “amazing” and “unbelievable” simply for providing them with their laptop. A simple thanks would have been more than adequate in my opinion!!

    Guess it goes hand in hand with the over use of “super” as a prefix to being “excited”, “happy” etc.

    I’m getting old I guess
