From the latest newsletter:
''Welcome to the Elite Dangerous Newsletter #138.
It has been an amazing week full of exciting news, excellent videos and loads of fun with Commanders throughout the world as we came live to you from Gamescom, Germany.
...''
Maybe its just me or i am getting old, but it really fatigues me to read and hear the words 'amazing, excellent, incredible, loads of fun' etc. in every piece of FDev official news. My issue is not about whether these adjectives describe factual information. These words are being used so inflationary (i guess industry wide to be fair) that they actually become devoid of meaning. Of course, no sane PR person would write newsletter with a negative conotation. Thats all well and good, but why not use superlatives a bit more sparingly and don't burn through half the dictionary in one sentence.
Whats your take on that issue? Would a different language be less tiresome and maybe have a greater effect?
