For the selection of the words (e.g amazing, awesome, bad, beautiful, crazy, excited, fun, good, great, happy, love, said, say, sad) the top 50 lists of the most "common words in English" (provided by the makers of the Oxford English Dictionary) were a preferred inspiration - mostly verbs and adjectives, only rarely nouns and adverbs. Also, these are not exact synonyms, consider them as grouped in semantic fields - the reason being to provide a help for inspiration.
