I bet she was referring to drive-by comments such as: Perfect! Epic! Neat! Cute! and Beautiful!
Basically, any adjective used on Facebook loses much of its original worth.
One can imagine the person glancing at his/her phone (while driving or watching a little league game or having lunch with friends) and quickly typing the single word, Perfect! in response to a photograph of a scone or a sunset.
When you or I eat a scone or see a sunset -- it is quite literally, "Perfect."
Jessica. I s'pose so. But I'm not a 'platitude' sort of person. I probably often say "Beautiful." and "Perfect." And I mean it. I mean it simply, and I mean it wildly. You know? Sometimes things are big, and they need a big, beautiful word. Just one. :)
Darcel... mmhmm. These things do my heart and my head right. :)

Hence, our legitimate use of such adjectives. ;)
Love it! I was planning on starting some herbs this week. Love those little gardener gloves, and the laundry on the line.
