[pedant] By definition, a thing either is unique or it is not. There are not varying degrees of unique-ness. The concept of "[i]very unique[/i]" implies the existence of things that are "[i]slightly unique[/i]" and "[i]a bit more unique than the last one[/i]" and "[i]really pretty unique but not completely so[/i]". [/pedant]
