A person should say "excited" when they are in the same state a 5yo is when taken to ice cream.
You can be excited about a new drug you created. But I don't know many adults that would feel 5yo-excitement about anything. They may be proud. They may feel happy. But genuine excitation is rare, not a ten times a week event, even if your life is great.
So they should keep "excited" for those rare occasions when they are, indeed, excited.
We don't communicate anymore. We do PR. PR is fake, fake is depressing.
It's like with sugar. We figured that adding a fake excitement to something sells it better. So we added it everywhere. And now we need enormous doses of it, nuances are lost and it's not healthy.
