    The document provides alternatives to commonly used adjectives that are more descriptive. Rather than say something is "very angry", it suggests using the more evocative word "furious". Similarly, it recommends replacing generic adjectives like "bad", "big", "good", "small", and "tired" with more vivid descriptors such as "atrocious", "immense", "brilliant", "tiny", and "exhausted". The purpose is to make descriptions more lively and imagery-provoking by choosing adjectives that convey greater intensity or specificity.
