“Really? Somewhat?”
Well it’s not perfect because if someone is looking for a thread which he/she thinks is entitled “Chofetz Chaim Yeshivos”, he/she might scroll down the list merely glancing at the first word of every title, in which case seeing the word “Learning” wouldn’t mean anything.
But you bring up an interesting point. Many times people use qualifiers before the word “better” such as “somewhat better”, “a little better” etc. Presumably they do this in order to point out that the situation is not yet where they want it to be. But the word “better” just means that it’s better than it was before, so if for example someone had 106 fever one day and 105 the next day and someone asks if he/she is better it would be completely accurate for he/she to respond that indeed he/she is better.
