very bad
I tried THUNDEROUS888 but it didn’t work. Very frustrating.
Hi, as a published writer: There is nothing wrong with very as long as you don’t repeat it needlessly.
A lot of these guides are very, very stupid.
The very first thing written by a something called “proofreading services.com” is functionally wrong. That’s a helluva start.
“exact” and “very accurate” are not the same thing. Not by a long shot.
“Very accurate” still leaves room for innacuracies while “Exact” does not. So why exactly would I trust a service whose very first sentence is an error?
“I never give advice, but there is one thing I wish you would do when you sit down to write news stories, and that is: Never use the word ‘very.’ It is the weakest word in the English language; doesn’t mean anything. If you feel the urge of ‘very’ coming on, just write the word ‘damn’ in the place of ‘very.’ The editor will strike out the word ‘damn,’ and you will have a good sentence.”
—William Allen White
Very UwU
Don’t say “Very UwU,” say “Nyaaaaaaaaa :3”
Thanks! That’s actually useful to enrich my speech
Don’t say “very accurate,” say “exact”
“exact” is a synonym for “very precise,” not “very accurate.”
The percentage of people among the general population who know the difference is about 2.5356%. I’ll allow it.
For the shooters out there, I’m all about accuracy. Sometimes precision for fun, but I just want in the general area for most cases.
2.5356%.
clever. (But is that accurate?)
I don’t entirely agree with that image – the first one says low accuracy, low precision – but it’s the best accuracy possible given the low precision.
Good point, should have the cluster size from #3, just offset.
As I recall, the mathematical definition of accuracy does have some overlap with precision, so increasing precision improves accuracy as well. It’s just a little confusing.
I agree!
Accuracy and precision; when I used to shoot archery long ago; measure different things, accuracy is a measure of the spread of your shots, precision is a measure of how close to the middle your shots are.
What could I use then?
Just say accurate?
Depends on the meaning of “accurate” (e.g. an archer, a research paper, a copy…).
Impeccable; flawless; dead-on; faithful – if I had to choose one, I’d pick “impeccable”
Its a fuckin ad
And I would be thrilled to fucking death to see more ads just like it. Touch my brain lovingly, don’t just fuck it.

ad, silence, brand
This is very obnoxious.
Challenge accepted. I’ll try to avoid that word for as long I possible. I’ll ping you next time I realise I fail.
Apologetic for taking a compelling, downy shit on your porch.
