Thanks! This is very helpful!

I like this a lot. It makes me wonder about some of these though, how "very scared" doesn't necessarily mean "petrified" or how something could be "very noisy" without being outright deafening. Super useful as a way to break the habit of saying "very" all the time, though. This is all more just me marveling at the minute nuances in English though.

I’m wondering what they meant by “very open”? They have the replacement of transparent, but it just means something else. Maybe they actually meant spacious or roomy?

My best guess is very open as in very truthful or honest? I've heard it sometimes described as someone being transparent but that's definitely not the first thing I'd think of with either word.
