This has nothing to do with grammar.
Doesn’t matter, it’s a very useful list to counter tik-tok brain damage.
Stop saying very

Not grammar

A lot of these have different connotations
It is definitely not a grammatical issue, but it a good rule of thumb for writing, particularly academic writing. One of the first things that was drilled into me as an English major was to drop, “very,” and find a better adjective.
Also, yeah, a lot of these are very poor matches, especially without context, but one of my favorite things about the English language is that it is a very large, redundant language, but none of our words have the exact same connotation. Big, large, huge, enormous, gigantic, tremendous, mammoth, gargantuan, and humongous are all technically synonyms, but all conjure different images in the reader.
But yeah, telling someone to say, “fragile,” instead of, “very weak,” is dumb, given they could mean, “delicate,” or, “feeble.” And if you’re not writing a term paper, just say, “very.”
Yeah, “idle” is much milder than “very lazy” imo
