Quality Adjectives

Today as I was helping Amy work on a writing project, we were talking about the use of "quality adjectives". She was fighting the improving of her vocabulary, so I left her with a cheat sheet of "quality adjectives" and instructions on which words she may not use. (This is a tool that the Institute for Excellence in Writing promotes.) She finished a sentence or two then slipped me this note.

"This is RUTHLESS. May I please have a break. I am tired!"

Evan and I thought her use of "quality adjectives" was so funny!
