 ### Description
 
-Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which the speaker describes it as larger or more extreme than it really is. There are two kinds of hyperbole:
+Many statements can be understood as completely true, as generalizations, or as examples of hyperbole. This is because the wording is often exactly the same.
 
-**Exaggeration**: This is when a speaker deliberately describes something by an extreme or even unreal statement, usually to show his strong feeling or opinion about it.
+  * It rains here every night. 
+
+1. This is completely true if it really does rain here every night.
+2. It is a generalization if it is mostly true because it rains here most nights. 
+3. It is a hyperbole if it is not nearly true, but the speaker said it perhaps because it rains here more often than he likes.

+**Hyperbole**: This is a figure of speech that uses **exaggeration**. A speaker deliberately describes something by an extreme or even unreal statement, usually to show his strong feeling or opinion about it. He expects people to understand that he is exaggerating.

    * This is an exaggeration. It means that the enemies will completely destroy Jerusalem.
 
-**Generalization:** This is when a speaker makes a statement, but does not mean that it is true in every situation that it could apply to.

 #### Reason this is a translation issue
 
-Not all languages use hyperbole for the same reasons. If readers do not understand that a statement is a hyperbole, they may either think that something happened that did not happen, or they may think that the speaker or writer was saying something that is not true. 
+1. Readers need to be able to understand whether or not a statement is completely true.
+2. If readers realize that a statement is not completely true, they need to be able to understand whether it is a hyperbole, a generalization, or a lie. (Though the Bible is completely true, it tells about people who did not always tell the truth.)

+Do not assume that the word "all" is always a generalization that means "most."
 
-The word "all" here is not hyperbole. All humans have sinned. The only human who has never sinned is Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
