I would say that amazing feels much stronger to me. jh Send a noteboard - 27/02/2010 12:16:52 AM
Impressive is more like "hey, that's cool" while amazing is "wow!", so not really interchangeable.

Of course I am a silly foreigner, I might value the words a bit strange since I associate them with their swedish translations or something.

Would Darth Vader use Amazing? Roland00 - 27/02/2010 12:38:07 AM 631 Views
Not much and "amazing" is way overused. everynametaken - 27/02/2010 02:24:00 AM 605 Views
Impressive leans towards skill, amazing leans towards luck. In that context anyway. *NM* Wibble - 27/02/2010 11:48:04 AM 232 Views
"Impressive" is more anthropic and deliberate... JasonD - 28/02/2010 10:28:58 PM 643 Views
