Usage notes

• Awesomenessness carries no additional semantic information compared with its antecedent awesomeness. Forms having been triply and quadruply suffixed with -ness also see occasional use; in pragmatic terms, this is equivalent to appending a long chain of exclamation marks after a statement to lend it emphatic force.
