Can you say “hyperbolizing”? That's what I wanted to know. If the reader would feel like I'm trying show off or whatever. I want a fairly neutral word for this. We have a great word for it in Swedish. With English though, I can only read the definitions in the dictionary, but never have an idea of how the word actually "feels". |

Can you say “hyperbolizing”? Where does it say it's rare? OED: hyperbolic. |

Can you say “hyperbolizing”? @AlexanderKosubek: Exaggerating would work okay in my context, but I think exaggerate is lacking that extra dimension of it being sort of ironic and rhetorical to prove a point. |

“Green Park” or “The Green Park”? The question is from an English assignment where I am asked to add the definite article where it needs to be. The phrase is "We decided to take a stroll in () Green Park". Even though english is my second language, I feel like it should be "in Green Park" and not "in the Green Park", but I cannot explain why. Even if it is only common usage, what would be the descriptive explanation of the usage? |
