quite often go to excesses in
what we keep telling
ourselves and what we tell
other people. We do it in two

which, really, we do not want
to have taken literally. And

seen as tentative. An example
of the latter ts, ‘‘] hate you’’,
or, ‘‘L love you’’ expressed in
such a way that tt sounds like
‘I’ve always hated you / tov-

An example of the hyper.
bole-statement could be ‘‘l
loathe EVERYTHING you
stand for,’’ or, ‘“‘“NOBODY
loves me,’’ or NOTHING
FEVER turns out nght for
me,’ or, the very common,
“LT NEVER have ANY fun.”’
