things that tilt you

What a silly idea to get rid of a key intensifier that exists in probably every spoken language that ever existed.

Also, essential in sarcasm.

"Very funny, kiwiMark."

And in subtle understatement where other words may come across as too direct.

"That wasn't very nice of you..."

every spoken language

is this some kind of internet spoken language that's more spoken language than other spoken languages or do you just want to sound dramatic

Why did you feel the need to banish punctuation from your posts?

And it's far more interesting/funny to talk about say, "a very large hammer" rather than "a humongous hammer", "a giant hammer", "a collosal hammer"... In fact those ridiculous hyperboles are far more void of meaning to me than using very.
