Enhance Your Sentence Here!

"When he told me he shaved his head, I literally died laughing."

"Technically, chocolate ice cream is the best dessert."

People just throw these words around for dramatic effect and sentence enhancement, and almost always use them in the complete opposite way that they were intended to be used.

If you literally die laughing, that means you actually do die from laughing.

And chocolate ice cream cannot technically be the best dessert, because the "best" dessert is a matter of opinion, not absolute fact.

Has anyone else noticed a lot more people making these kinds of errors recently? And IRL too, not just Neo.

re: Enhance Your Sentence Here!

I just say "goddamn" and "shit" a lot, normally in situations that don't call for it, to enhance my sentences. Makes people love me.

I do that but say "*bleep*!" and "Oh Shit!" and "Damn!" instead of GD. I never use that word.

re: Enhance Your Sentence Here!

I could have sworn there would be a link leading to some sort of Enhanced Sentence Generator or summin.

Yeah I've noticed people like to use big words to make themselves sound smarter. Not out of context per-say, but annoying nonetheless. It makes me wanna smack them with the dictionary they got it from.

(Literally.)

I think you'll find that they utilized a thesaurus, not a dictionary

re: Enhance Your Sentence Here!

I thought this was going to be some game thread where you change a word in someones sentence. To enhance it! But I was wrong.

A thesaurus is used to find synonyms. A dictionary is used to define words. Theoretically, one could use both.

Agreed. Now we can let this hopeless thread carry on with its downward spiral

re: Enhance Your Sentence Here!

I've noticed some people tend to speak in the most complex manner possible simply to get a point across, or to give the illusion that the intelligence they posses is much higher than that of the person she or he is referring to, generally to feel superior.

That would be a perfect example of what I'm talking about. I could have simply said "People try to sound smart to make themselves feel smart", but instead someone would choose to over-complicate a sentence like that. The people the OP is referring to are the people who try to sound smart, who hear a new word and having no idea what it means, use it in a sentence. They just want to feel smart, but it's hilarious when you can outsmart them.
