Sometimes when I`m making a post, I get stuck trying to find the right adjectives. So I thought this thread might be helpful. If anyone can think of any I missed, feel free to add on... :grin:

I`ll try to put them in some sort of order at some point. Not sure, alphabetically or grouped according to similarity...

Maybe at some point it would be fun to have examples of each term. :grin: I think we may have to start a new thread for that...
