I vote that we start encouraging usage of the word "amplitudinous" for
moments when writers are looking for an alliterative superlative. I'm
really sick of everything being described as "Awesome", it feels like
something out of a teen girl's telly show.
So, my proposed new headline would be ... "Abiword is amplitudinous"
