>Not to mention that hyperbole is a noun, and every item on that list,
with the exception of "London Times style," is an adjective. I might
have unusually high standards, but shouldn't a writer know the
difference? For that matter, shouldn't a writer know how to use a
dictionary?<
In this case, a good thesaurus would be a start -- the (old) one that's my
favorite includes a section of "antonyms" for each word.
