My Bad-to-Good spectrum would be:

Bad

Pretty bad

Fairly bad

Fairly good

Pretty good

Good

I would rate pretty bad as worse than bad.

"It's not bad, but it's still pretty bad" is a phrase I can see myself saying. Not sure about the other way round - doesn't really work for me, but to each their own...

I see it as similar to "very bad", which would be worse than just "bad".

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think both are correct depending on the inflection

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I think it's contextual.

I have to say my bad-to-good ratio is probably:

Pretty bad

Bad

Not good

Ok <- Neutral

Not bad

Pretty good

Good

Which I now realize is a little weird to have "ok" be neutral, with not bad/good on either side of it.
