Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

okay real honest question: what is the "very" augmentative / replacement for "compelling" then?
Undeniable?
And what is the "very" of that?
Dunno
Or just drop very? Those are all good descriptive words by themselves, and the alternatives aren't really guaranteed to not need modification with something like very.
Apart from that, there's honestly a lot that bugs me about it. For the most part though, these are all depending on the use case and would require you to have a relative mastery of english.
A couple are...
Simple and basic can generally be interchanged with each other. There are also times when very simple means something completely different from basic. (eg. chemistry)
As someone mentioned, "very perfect" wouldn't really be used in the implied sense. It would be more used to convey extreme fragility, in that destruction happens with the slightest problem.
Another one is that you can be very open about your thoughts/feelings, but you wouldn't necessarily announce them by being transparent.
Yeah this. Deafening is only a better world than "very noisy" in very limited circumstances.
Very light implies weight. Luminous isn't very light.
Also, desolate sounds a lot more negative than empty to me. Maybe something like "devoid of [...]" might convey more of a similar idea?
Are you a linguist?
Very perfect, distinct from slightly perfect.
My English teacher would have cut off your balls.
Very creative!
Such a very perfect comment!
Be careful, the knife is keen!
They are actually more dangerous when tedious.
Are you grave?
You could just replace "very" with "fucking" and get the same results as all the synonyms.
Or how about: " It's fuckin' BUSTLIN' in here"
But then it wouldn’t be a Cool guide
Huh. There are adverbs aside from 'litchally'?
akshually yes
I have a compelling erection, but it is brief 😞
I quite like the word very tho it’s a nice word, short, honest, the kind of word you can rely on.
Incredibly, unbearably, immeasurably, vastly, amazingly, stupidly, etc etc.
"This lake is profound"
Damn beat me to it
so you're saying very very boring is tedious...
There's so much noise in that photo, it's deafening.
Wicked
American version -
Super big
Super boring
Super noisy
Super poor
Super creative
Etc etc
“Rich” and “wealthy” are two different things. They’re not interchangeable.
Rich = lot of money Wealthy = lot of money
What is the difference?
Ok. You know how basketball players make a lot of money? They’re rich. The guy that pays them is wealthy.
Rich is having lots of money. Wealthy is having a lot of passive income. In practice, the 2 are similar. A rich person can invest, and so become wealthy. A wealthy person is often rich. It's possible to only be 1 however. E.g. Someone with a large property portfolio would be wealthy, but not necessarily rich.
This is one of the powers of the English language. We have a ridiculous number of pseudonyms. They have similar meanings, but vary subtly. This allows us to express ideas with a lot more granularity than a lot of other languages.

Solid idea, but imperfect execution.
Ya ~~very simple~~ basic
Image seems to have been deleted.
Replaced with a different image now.
Thank you partybot very cool!
My headmaster once substituted one of my classes and used it to demonstrate how “get” is a really crap word and you can always replace it with a more descriptive and apt synonym.
Nowadays I just have to choke down when business people ask me to “action” things.
This must of been very tedious to make... Aww fuck whoops
That's very cool.
Very interesting
Not-that-fun fact, years ago way before any new taxi service, during the reign of a then-popular particular word, I heard someone refer to something as “super uber strong”. Apparently neither intensifier was enough on its own
