What is the best skill you possess that makes you stand above the average person?

    Exponentially denotes a progression, a rate of change. You probably mean greatly or vastly

    For me it would be authoring images-illustration, rendering, etc. I guess most people can answer with their job

        Being accurate with words isn’t being pedantic. There was an opportunity to teach, I took it. That’s it. Perhaps you got that impression because text doesn’t convey intent very well. That’s alright

      I am exponentially more experienced at swimming than the average person.

      I’m actually a pretty average swimmer, so in this case the exponent is zero.

      This is my biggest pet peeve. One data point can’t be exponentially more than one other data point without context.

      If people still want to sound “smart” because they used a fancy math word, you can say “orders of magnitude more experienced.”

      Yeah I was going to make a pithy joke about my job, but note that having any skill in a field that’s at all niche puts you well above the average.
