Is everything described as 'amazing'?

Maybe it is due to congenital cynicism (they don't call me Diogenes for nothing, although I don't have all of his less savoury habits!) but i don't spend my life now in a constant state of amazement any more than I ever did.

Oh don't get me started :-|
ok then :-D
Often posted on our local community forum - "which is the best surgery/doctor?"
"Doctor so and so is amazing" Really? I don't want to be 'amazed' I want a competent gp.

You'd think 'amazing' and 'stunning' were the only available words here - apart from the oft' used nasties

Always seems to me to be a lack of vocabulary knowledge. And the only problem is, when you really want to use the word you feel you can't because it has been so much overused.
