okay real honest question: what is the “very” augmentative / replacement for “compelling” then?

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?

You could just replace “very” with “fucking” and get the same results as all the synonyms.

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.
