There's a
common misconception as to which
term to use when. for example, just the other
night my
friend used the term "
highly" with
tired. that just doesn't work. highly is a term
to be used with how something is and most often with the word "quality." Here are a
few examples:
- "I had a high quality weekend."
- "That taco was high quality."
- "I highly enjoyed that movie," or "That movie was high quality."
- "That's a high quality TV show."
Highly is also used in how much you like something, ie "I
highly enjoyed that
dinner." Most often it's used in place of the words: very],
much,
incredibly,
good,
etc. Fully on the other hand is a different
matter, but the
two however, do
overlap in some
cases, not often
mind you, but they do nevertheless. Fully is a term to be used when you're
trying to
convey how much of something you are. here are some
examples to help the understanding:
- "I'm fully tired."
- "I fully enjoyed that movie."
- "Thats a high quality meal right there." "Fully!"
- "Are you hungry?" "Fully."
- "Is it ok with you if we see that movie?" "Fully!"
Fully is most often used in place of; yes, of course, completly, totally, entirely, and really any afirmative response. It's like a meter of how much of something you are. when the meter reaches it's full mark, then most likely you're fully whatever it is that you are.
I hope all that fully makes sense.
