Degree

[Wuisi]

Can anybody help me fully understand the difference, if any, between fairly, quite, rather, pretty, when expressing degree. Which is stronger? Is there a scale? Thanks in advance.

Not a fixed one IMO- they can vary with things like stress and context.

[Wuisi]

Thanks a lot. What do you mean by IMO?

in my opinion

Thanks a lot. Is there any kind of reference site or book for expressions like these: IMO, PTO, ASAP...?

Here's one - but sometimes it might be quicker to ask here!
