ATTENTION EVERYONE:

UNIQUE ≠ UNUSUAL.  THE WORD MEANS 'ONE OF A KIND' AND THAT IS ALL IT MEANS.

i'm sorry to raise my voice, but honestly.  this has gone on long enough.

That is so wrong!

For another wrong use of unique - a thing is not more unique or less unique than another thing. It's either unique or it's not.

yes, exactly. 'very unique'? NONONONONONO.
