Google has a sweet tool that shows mentions of a word overtime. Look at awesome:https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?year_start=1800&year_e...

Very cool! Thank's! So the eighties where not that awesome, but since about 1993 the world is getting more and more awesome :)

Is this really an important issue?

Of course ;) I know there are way more important issues. But I thought I should point it out, maybe others think like me. And maybe one person uses the list to write better descriptions.

i agree the word is over-used.

at the same time, things _are_ getting more awesome lately, at least in my humble opinion.

i had been waiting for a machine similar to an ipad for _decades_. and i mean that quite literally. (and i know what "literally" means.)

and now something relatively close (still not quite good enough, but happily close) is _finally_ here.

perhaps you youngsters can take it for granted. for me, it's awesome.

You are right. The world is getting more awesome. And the language changes and gets simpler.

Maybe that's just the normal run of things and should stop complaining about it :)

Awesome is soo lame
