Adjectives

fsdff444,
You didn't quote my post properly; try copy and paste. Anyway, what's your point? Coffee maker reviews?

How about papier mache like?

And, of course, "musical"

I think part of it is simply information overload. Not enough time to think. Email comes in, gotta respond. There is much wonderful about having all the info and data at your fingertips, but it can create quite a few problems. One is that even well regarded sources publish without sufficient time to proof or edit (I'm going to stay away from the political aspects of so-called journalism other than to note that one approach-- news by aggregating a string of tweets- is pretty annoying to me). 
The other is simply writing style and quality. I think every field has its terms of art, constraints given the nature of the field, e.g., medical writing is obviously different than legal writing, not just due to subject matter but long standing conventions in form and format. Writing about the arts, or wine, food or music requires the author to convey information about one sensory medium (taste, sound, visual aspects) into another. Not easy to do without relying on hackneyed phrases and buzz words that ultimately become meaningless. 
The other is that good writing is itself an art form. If you are a heavy reader (or write for a living), you know the difference between just banging it out and the sort of writing that sings. The latter takes skill and, at least for me, a bit of inspiration as well as sufficient time to get distance from the draft and rework it. 
We don't have as much time for that. Fewer people today read books. Part of it is simply lifestyle, but I've been relying on Kindle for years- I know it isn't "the same" as holding a book in hand, but I can enlarge the font size, and carry many books in a slim cased electronic device. 
Publishing itself is a dying business. Long form essays are probably less attractive to many readers than a short video. 
In teaching (law), I often find myself helping students get away from stilted  phraseology and syntax-- I encourage them to write like they are talking to somebody in plain English; persuasion comes, not from the purple prose, but from the skill of assembling a thoughtful, reasonable argument and laying it out in an easy to follow style that doesn't rely on buzz words. 
To the extent I write for pleasure, I do so because I really enjoy it. But, it requires (work by) the author to relieve the reader of the work. 

Whart..this shows you what’s happened to me re: attention spans... just remembered this thread I started almost three weeks ago.... I agree with you about what gets my attention these days and keeping my attention has become a rarified occurrence 

@goldenear1948 - if I had willpower I would. It's what I do in between being productive, i think.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, and the fora are helpful, good places to connect, etc. but I can tell when I've had too much. Not implying anything re anybody's else's posting frequency or habits. 
I pretty much ignore "news" except for the truly bizarre stuff. 
Maybe early onset dementia is making me like a millennial. I have an 8 second attention span. 

Most adjectives seem to revert to what we see and taste when describing things. It's probably due to it's being more easily relatable. 

Whart.... you now need to stop reading forums😉

brickxxxxhouse comes to mind, but doesn’t connote precision engineering.
and conjures up images better left unsaid.

Never mind adjectives, what about that stale comparisons such as "built like a tank". Reviewers and ordinary people have been using that one for so many years now. Can't we think of something else that connotes well built?

English is not a precise language....try German

^^^ I’ve been home roasting my coffee for years. Here’s the site I use to purchase my green coffee beans. Check out the descriptions used for the various coffees.

By the way, if you love coffee, home roasting is the only way to go.

Downright upright. Bold but not pushy. Tar finish.

Subtle, yet naive. Fruity, with a chocolate finish? Oaky?
Hmmmm. I gave up drinking. I gave up reading reviews. 
Far more sane. :)
