LC, I had an english teacher who felt the same way about the term unique. However, the meaning of unique is changing per majority colloquial request-lol. And we do live in a sort of democracy.

It does make sense to say something is more or less unique it seems to me. What synonym would you use to replace it.

Is "very unusual" a better description than very unique?

The two words that are really misused are:"peruse", it means the exact oppoiste of what people think; and myriad.

People always say a myriad of things and it should be myriad things.
