Words lose weight over time and we start emphasizing them. Centuries ago, "catastrophe" meant something really, really bad, like an earthquake. Nowadays we use "catastrophe" to mean any sort of messy situation. That's just how language evolves.

Different people choose to use words in different ways. Yes, language evolves, but there's no need to use nonsense words like "over-exaggeration". It's meaningless and stupid.

I'm not going to argue you on this, but I suggest you read up on the etymology of _above_. Such a simple word, and yet it's built on redundance upon redundance.

I may or may not look that up. "Above" has five letters and two syllables, so it can't be as ridiculous as "over exaggeration"

Yeah, you'd think.

An under-exaggerated observation.

It's a very stupid word.
