Listen, I'm too very exhausted to read this very lengthy, and very tedious list.
Listen, I'm fatigued beyond imagination and incapable of reading this prosaic litany of mundane drivel.
That is something up with which I will not put.
This has nothing to do with grammar.
Doesn't matter, it's a very useful list to counter tik-tok brain damage.
One could say it's the very thing we need.

Not grammar
-
A lot of these have different connotations
"Hmmm you're very dirty 😏"
"Hmmm you're filthy 😏"
"That you are able to take responsibility for your your mistakes is very big of you."
"That you are able to take responsibility for your your mistakes is huge of you."
Nope, not the same.
As a personal thing, I've always detested that usage of the word big. More so than any of these 'very' replacements, there are so many words available to convey the meaning of that big.

It is definitely not a grammatical issue, but it a good rule of thumb for writing, particularly academic writing. One of the first things that was drilled into me as an English major was to drop, "very," and find a better adjective.
Also, yeah, a lot of these are very poor matches, especially without context, but one of my favorite things about the English language is that it is a very large, redundant language, but none of our words have the exact same connotation. Big, large, huge, enormous, gigantic, tremendous, mammoth, gargantuan, and humongous are all technically synonyms, but all conjure different images in the reader.
But yeah, telling someone to say, "fragile," instead of, "very weak," is dumb, given they could mean, "delicate," or, "feeble." And if you're not writing a term paper, just say, "very."

“Very busy” and “overloaded” are wildly different things.
As are very hot and boiling, very lazy and idle, very nervous and anxious, and like a good third more of these.

You can put 'very' before every suggested alternative. What then?
I teach foreign language students and they often write about how their food was "very delicious", and it always sounds so jarring to me. There are a lot of really strong words that native speakers tend to not use very with.
eg:
very difficult task / very monumental task
very good cooking / very superb cooking
very happy man / very elated man
For some reason intensifiers like so and such don't have those restrictions:
The task was very/so monumental.
It was very/such superb cooking.
He was very/so elated.

I am a fan of putting "very" in front of everything in the suggested list.
Very tiny. Very exhausted.
Very good examples!
Verily.

You're very welcome.

Use all the words in the right columns but preceded with "fuckin'" every time. Like a real gentleperson.
very very words
Very very.
Very helpful
Legit criticism! But hear me out. Who remembers all those different words anyway?
Instead of NOT using "very", I say we ONLY use "very".
It's a very idea!

Damn honey, you look boiling in that outfit!
Looking at you makes me challenging!
Very cold and freezing are different things. You can be very cold but above 0°.
Most of these are dumb.
Listen, I need to introduce you to any hot climate's weather terms (done in american and rest-of-the-fucking-world-but-liberia units for funsies):
- >90/32 = hot
- >28/82 = stifling (if humid) / little warm
- >78/25 = warm
- >75/24 = nice out
- >22/72 = okay
- >70/21 = cool
- >68/20 = chilly
- >60/16 = cold
- <16/60 = freezing
You can be very cold and freezing. You can't be very cold and not freezing. ;)

Dunno if it is me, non-native English speaker, but it seems that very old can vary depending on context, while ancient barely changes on the context. And it seems few others could be divisive and a few green ticked ones repeat.
Edit: ah, this is shitposting comm :@
