By "vocabulary whackamole", I meant decrying "microaggressions" as a weapon, not misunderstanding the use of "exaggeration"; I agree that wasn't super clear, but I felt I understood what they meant by it, so I tried to help explain.
> exaggerate, as far as I can tell after looking at some dictionaries, never means "more than the norm"
Not to nitpick, but it's almost exactly the second definition here[1]: "enlarged or increased beyond the normal : greater than normal"

- toolz 4y agoI stand corrected, I only looked at exaggerate and not the past participle, which apparently does fit your interpretation. Thanks
