One of my pet peeves is the mid-western tendency to use negative adjectives in conjunction with positive adjectives in order to amplify the positive adjective. If I’ve lost you, don’t worry – if you are from the mid-west you will recognize these word pairs: Awfully beautiful, terribly sweet. It works here in the Midwest. Awfully beautiful is much more beautiful than nicely beautiful and wonderfully sweet is just a bit less sweet than terribly sweet, which pushes sweet over the boundaries of acceptable sweetness.
Do you think the disciples had some pet peeves?
