Adverbs for Degree

   Sometimes we have CHUNKS and COLLOCATIONS...                                      
(Many verbs have a preferred adverb of degree.)

I highly recommend

I strongly suggest

I faithfully promise

I heavily rely (on someone or something)

I deeply regret

I heartily congratulate

I perfectly understand



Logic suggests not using degree modifiers with absolute words; for example, "He's rather dead."  Test this by using rather before: absolute, entirely, eternal, fatal, final, finite, identical, immortal, infinite, mortal, opposite, perfect, right, straight, opposite, or unique.
