1. Although usage varies, an adjective which contains the
sense 'very', 'extremely', or '100%' as part of its
meaning is NOT usually used with very or extremely.
Examples are: boiling (= very hot), certain (= very
sure), convinced (= very sure), delighted (= very
pleased), desperate (= very worried), fascinated
(= very interested (by)), fine (= very well, as in 'I feel
fine'), freezing (= very cold), and starving (= very
hungry). To intensify such adjectives, use absolutely,
NOT very OR extremely.
