0 Between "great" and "wonderful". "awesome" is so overused in the U.S. these days that it has barely any meaning other than "very good" anymore. 02br

Hi CJ,

four more adjectives: fabulous, fantastic, terrific, splendid.

Where do they fit in your order list?

Thanks,

'acceptable', 'not bad', 'good', 'splendid', 'great', 'awesome', 'wonderful', 'sensational', 'phenomenal', 'spectacular'.

ARGH! This game can go on forever!
With so many words, they all begin to sound the same - or at least about the same level of goodness. Every person you ask will have a slightly different order. My opinion is not at all definitive on these matters! I hope you realize that.

I'd put 'fabulous' and 'fantastic' around 'wonderful' and 'sensational'.
'terrific' sounds weak
