1. The Trouble with "Amazing": Giving Praise that Matters
"Amazing" is over used. It doesn't mean as much any more, because people say it to anything and everything. It also doesn't relay anything super important, as it is not the most descriptive word utilization. Additionally, this article writes about how it looks more about the person, and not the effort.
