Same here. I frequently use "garner", "meticulous" and "surpass", along with copious usage of the em-dash to indicate breaks in the chain of thought. These are not buzzwords. They're words.

What I do worry about is the rise of excessive superlatives: e.g. rather than saying, "okay", "sounds good" or "I agree", saying "fantastic!", "perfect!" or "awesome!". I get the feeling this disease originated in North America and has now spread everywhere, including LLMs.

Those are not superlatives.

Funnily enough, I was using the word superlative more as an adjective, than the noun that refers to the part of grammer (adjective), if that makes sense.

Adjectives don't have a plural form.
