Pet Peeve

Every one has a pet peeve or two or many.  Happily, I don't have a lot but this is one that jumps out at me from TV ads, magazine ads, talk shows, movies, interviews, newscast banter, radio, just about any media.  It's everywhere!  Want to know what it is? The over use of the word amazing. While the this word, to me, used to be fine to hear, now it seems to be nearly the only descriptive word used these days.  Just listen for a day and count how often you hear it.  So folks, lets expand our vocabulary with some of these old time favorites instead like wonderful, fabulous, magnificent, glorious, marvelous, splendorous, cool, swell, neat, keen or the bees knees?
