Is 'good' a good enough word?

I agree. Good isn’t good enough, but in most cases. . . well, it is. HAH! We have gotten used to everything being good. Why? I think because we can’t be bothered being descriptive. You say something is good and most folks smile or beam. They’d probably faint dead away if you said they were exceptional or inspired! So you’re right. . . good isn’t good enough, but it’s good enough for most of us. SIGH

My husband is notorious for saying “it’s good” or “it’s alright” when I try a new recipe. I have to nearly beat out of him whether it’s “good enough to make again” or not!
Great post, JoJo! -
That was a GOOD article, JoJo ? Haha!!! I don’t vanilla either – I want words like AWESOME – BRILLIANT – and EXCELLENT!!!

You’re right. It’s important to be specific. Many of us don’t take the time to do it. We use the easiest words to express our thoughts. I suppose it is a lazy way of doing things. Thanks for the admonition to communicate better.
