Subject: Instead of Using "Very"
Greetings.
There exists a useful post on tumblr, suprising as that may be, that provides a list of alternatives to combining "very" with certain nouns. The downside to this post existing on tumblr is that people can change their username, which then changes the URL for the post.
I should also note that the information on that post originated from a website which is no longer accessible. Thus, making this an archive of the original in text form, rather than the tumblr post.
