Rachel Shu comments on Linch’s Shortform

[Rachel Shu]

There’s a whole category of intensifiers which implicate the real: genuinely, actually, really, truly, seriously, substantially, very, definitely

Then there are intensifiers which implicate the imaginary: fabulously, unbelievably, incredibly, fantastically, impossibly, miraculously

It’s genuinely incredibly interesting to me how compatible these usages are!
