A veritable tko of terminology, Better Than Great is the essential
guide for describing the extraordinary -- the must have reference for
anyone wishing to rise above tired superlatives. Deft praise encourages
others to feel as we do, share our enthusiasms. It rewards deserving
objects of admiration. It persuades people to take certain actions. It
sells things. Sadly, in this age of awesome, our words and phrases of
acclaim are exhausted, all but impotent. Even so, we find ourselves
defaulting to such habitual choices as good, great, and terrific, or
substitute the weary synonyms that tuble our of a thesaurus -- superb,
marvelous, outstanding, and the like. The piling on of intensifers such
as the now-silly super, only makes matters worse and negative modifiers
render our common parlance nearly tragic. Until now. Arthur Plotnik, the
wunderkind of word-wonks is, without mincing, proffering a well knit
wellspring of worthy and wondrous words to rescue our worn-down usage.
Plotnik is both hella AND hecka up to the task of rescuing the English
language and offers readers the chance to never be at a loss for words!
