Vocabulary
Gorgeous, marvelous, stunning & fantastic
Hi all,
Sometimes i feel confused about the correct word choice in expressing like or wonder. For example, can the following be used interchangebly: gorgeous, marvelous, wonderful, stunning, fantastic ..... etc. I think that stunning is somehow informal, but what about the others?
Another thing, is there any difference in the use of the above-mentioned words? I mean, can anyone order them according to strength?
Regards,,,

There is no order of intensity-- it is a matter of the individual speaker's habitual word choice. e. 'informal') English.

- Gorgeous tends to refer to visual wonders; for the others, I sense no specific differences.

The words themselves are neither formal nor informal, but as exclamations are a part of spoken (i.e. 'informal') English. Gorgeous tends to refer to visual wonders; for the others, I sense no specific differences. Some can seem effeminate with the appropriate tone of voice.
