Incredibly lucky? Incredible means unbelievable. People consistently bent the odds in my favour, is a positive outcome unbelievable then?

- taneq 7y agoIf you want to play semantics then let’s say exceptionally lucky instead.
- Arnt 7y agoI wondered whether that's what you were doing... setting up a sneaky strawman comparison using "always" and "incredibly", which are everyday words and unremarkable because of that, but both words strong in literal meaning. If having no problems in a place like this: http://yris.yira.org/essays/1150 http://yris.yira.org/essays/1150 is the exception, then what's the rule?
