Very (Pet Shop Boys Album)
''Very'' is the fifth studio album by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, released on 27 September 1993 by Parlophone, nearly three years after the duo's previous studio album, ''Behaviour'', and following the compilation album '' Discography: The Complete Singles Collection''. It is the only Pet Shop Boys album to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart, and it produced two top ten singles, "Can You Forgive Her?" and " Go West". ''Very'' exhibits one of many turning points the Pet Shop Boys would make to their music, shifting from the subdued electronic pop of ''Behaviour'' to richly instrumented dance arrangements. The content and lyrics led to ''Very'' being called their "coming-out" album, since it was during this time that Neil Tennant had publicly discussed his long-rumoured homosexuality. Background and release Pet Shop Boys made ''Very'' in reaction to their previous album ''Behaviour'', which was critically well-received but not as commercially successful as their earl ...

Jones Very
Jones Very (August 28, 1813 – May 8, 1880) was an American poet, essayist, clergyman, and mystic associated with the American Transcendentalism movement. He was known as a scholar of William Shakespeare, and many of his poems were Shakespearean sonnets. He was well-known and respected among the Transcendentalists.

He studied epic poetry and was invited to lecture on the topic in his home town, which drew the attention of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

When he was released, Emerson helped him issue a collection titled ''Essays and Poems'' in 1839. Very lived the majority of his life as a recluse from then, issuing ...

Intensifier
In linguistics, an intensifier (abbreviated ) is a lexical category (but ''not'' a traditional part of speech) for a modifier that makes no contribution to the propositional meaning of a clause but serves to enhance and give additional emotional context to the lexical item it modifies. Intensifiers are grammatical expletives, specifically ''expletive attributives'' (or, equivalently, ''attributive expletives'' or ''attributive-only expletives''; they also qualify as ''expressive attributives''), because they function as semantically vacuous filler. Characteristically, English draws intensifiers from a class of words called ''degree modifiers'', words that quantify the idea they modify. More specifically, they derive from a group of words called ''adverbs of degree'', also known as ''degree adverbs''. When used grammatically as intensifiers, these words cease to be degree adverbs, because they no longer quantify the idea they modify; instead, they emphasize it emotionally. By co ...
