There's this one thing that follows me in my daily life, that is extra super annoying and makes communication really hard and makes both me and the people I'm communicating with just not understand each other at all. What I'm talking about is the mistake that someone makes, when they don't know the extent of a scale of stuff they are measuring, and they tend to think that anything that is slightly more/higher/worse than what they are most used with is super super biggest thing in the world. Funnily this applies to two of my favorite pastimes: linguistics and food. In linguistics, I have studied this stuff called morphology or word-formation, this means roughly that we can model with computers now how shoes is formed from shoe + s making more than one shoe and unfortunately is formed from fortune and ate and un and ly making negated fortune that tags on to a verb like an adverb. In food, we have a concept of spiciness or hotness, generally related to spices made from chilies or so, but can also be used for peppers, horse radish or whatever. But as you might guess most people are not aware that languages more complex than English can range from slightly to million billion times, and spices more potent than black pepper and salt can also range from slightly spicy to pepper spray.
