against exaggeration
attitude: some people can think like this (see more)
Many people in Australia think like this:
When someone wants to say “I think about something like this.”
At some times they say words like ‘all’ when they want to say something like ‘many’.
At some times they say words like ‘many’ when they want to say something like ‘some’.
At some times people say words like ‘none’, when they want to say something like ‘not many’.
It is not good when people say things in this way.
Note
Note that 'it is not good' when people say things in this way, not 'it is bad'.Back to Expressing opinions
