Amazed by the word amazing

It’s amazing how much I use the word amazing. I really liked the article by Philip Goldberg, even though it is criticizing my vocabulary, because he makes a good point. However, I feel like people in general overanalyze things too much and I get irritated. Yes, the word it used way too much and people probably should find other words to use to describe how they feel, but it works. I use amazing all the time if something makes me happy because people my age understand what I mean. Goldberg says that amazing shouldn’t be a slang word, but it is and you have to accept that because it is not going to change. I like to read things and learn about how other people think but that doesn’t mean I agree or will change my ways. It seems like older generations are always finding some way to rag on younger generations and this also makes me upset. Goldberg talks about the word groovy and acts like it was okay for his generation to use that word, but not okay for people to say amazing. I think that words can have a literal meaning and a slang meaning and that that’s okay. If you need clarification on what a person is talking about, ask them. But, I also understand that sometimes people need to use literal meanings, like in English essays.
