The adjective deprivation


Despite the magnitude of how good something is people tend to use the one word - Awesome. However they end up conveying the magnitude by varying stress and length of syllables. Here is a trend that I observed:
  • Awesome means something is good.
  • Aaaawwesome means it is better than good.
  • A stress on 's' with a ridiculously elongated 'o' means it is extremely good.
One thing that bothers me most is that some people are even coming up with weird spellings for The word. For example, "aahhsum!". Other variants include usage of additional alphabet from the set [a,s,m] and more exclamation marks for added effect. These guys channel all their excitement into spelling the word. How disturbing the spelling is depends on how impressed the person is. Pff. Miserable.
