About an hour ago I said the following in response to a question: "very rarely."
Rare is already pretty rare, as the word itself implies. So to be very rare it's gotta be, well, very rare.
While I don't know for certain, I think 'very rare' is overused. In fact, the cases where it'd be appropriate are rare.
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. -- C. S. Lewis
I am far beyond guilty of this.
See? I just did it again. It's a disease!
Does this really matter? I think so. It extends beyond words, reaching into our lives and sucking out everything good. Maybe.
