e.
Glad to hear it Elena. If there’s any specific topic you’d like me to cover more in depth, please tell me.
Jacob,
Are you able to give your expertise on resumes?
Sure. What’s your question?
thank u so much my 9th granders needed a vocab check so this site really helped them out wit word choices!!!
Interesting to see that just adjectives can give you so many ideas to describe yourself. Nice one! I like this!

make a lits about the adjetives for desenbiengl people and things
this site is strange and weird did not help me in my job interview they thought i was to always trying to be perfect
hi! this is really helpful! yeah, its me. Ariana. not a poser:]
ha yea “OOOOKKAAAY”
Yea. This is good. But what the hell has hypnotism got to do with this?! This isn’t hypnotism, this is simply positive/good/happy things – of course it’d make you feel a bit beter reading the list — good things make you feel better and this list would also probably make you think of a few positive things which will also make you feel better. All good and valid, just don’t tarnish it by calling hypnotism. please.
Glenn- Talk to Scott Adams, he’s the hypnotist.
Fair enough!
you should also do negative words!!!!
Nice article, Although, I wish you posted these adjective with their meaning. Thanks 🙂
i want adjectives with their meanings and use in sentences
I agree with Hina because then English teachers can use the post as a teaching text.
This did not help me with my interview. They called the cops on me and said i was weird. I then yelled the positive words at the boss, but that did not help either. This site is a sham! Don’t yell the words does not work.
