i am aware hyperbolizing is not a word, but i couldn't think of a better one to use (i guess exaggerating..lol) but i was referring to the picture...that chalet or whatever is going to cost you a lot more than saving X amount of dollars per week/month will get you....




Actually it is a word. :)

If pronounced correctly it becomes obvious. The accent needs to be on the 2nd syllable.

You are correct, technically it's not a word, but it seems to be being used as a synonym for exaggerating much more often.
An English teacher would not allow the word hyperbolizing. But the business world seems to be allowing it, these days.

An Englishman would probably cringe and comment on the degradation of the English language. :)

get 1080, 4k is worthless and cable providers will not support it nor are tv shows/movies
might be several more years before they start supporting it..
