Writeability

A hyperbole is a figure of speech that is an exaggeration which denotes extremes. It is common in both everyday speech and in written English. Despite its prevalence using a hyperbole in a professional setting is frowned upon. A hyperbole is ideal for a story, poem or informal e-mail.

Examples: "I cried so much I nearly died."  "I laughed so hard I thought my cheeks would fall off."
