Sound hype
Hi,
What is the correct adjective that would properly be used in a context that means ' I don't want you to think that I'm exaggerating things?
Would it be ' I don't want to sound exaggerating?' or ' I don't want to sound exaggerated?'
And does 'hype' mean something similar in informatl English?
