Not much and "amazing" is way overused. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 27/02/2010 02:24:00 AM
It should be a rule of thumb that before anyone calls anything "amazing" he or she should stop and ask,"Is that really miraculous?" If not then maybe he or she should use impressive.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

Impressive leans towards skill, amazing leans towards luck. In that context anyway. *NM* Wibble - 27/02/2010 11:48:04 AM 156 Views
"Impressive" is more anthropic and deliberate... JasonD - 28/02/2010 10:28:58 PM 455 Views
