ANT ordinary.WORD TOOLKIT See exceptional .Word Toolkits illustrate the difference between close synonyms by means of words typically used with them.WORD NOTE remarkable Properly, remarkable should not be used as a synonym for good. It is value-neutral and means only “worth being remarked upon.” Actually, what's really remarkable is how many words, like this one, have lost their specific meanings as they've been corralled into the sterile confinement pen of synonyms for good, notably fabulous (literally, like something in a fable), fantastic (like something in a fantasy), wonderful (fills you with wonder), incredible (not to be believed). You help restore the richness of the language when you use these words in ways closer to their original meanings. — DAConversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage. |
