§Grammar and usage
Usage: some careful users think enormity should be used only for great evil, and prefer enormousness or immensity for great size, so be careful in formal writing.
Usage में कुछ सावधान लेखक मानते हैं कि enormity का प्रयोग केवल घोर बुराई के लिए होना चाहिए और बड़े आकार के लिए enormousness या immensity बेहतर है, इसलिए formal writing में सावधानी रखें।
