Qual è la differenza tra pretty much e almost ?Sentiti libero di rispondere con un esempio.

Another way in which they're not interchangeable:

Sometimes, we actually use "pretty much" even when we mean "exactly."

"These five almonds are pretty much all I've eaten for lunch."
>> You could say this even if it really is all you had for lunch, not "almost all" you had for lunch.

"This is pretty much the only Coldplay song I like."
>> You could say this even if it truly is the only song of theirs you like.

I think adding "pretty much" kind of softens your statement. If you said, "This is the only Coldplay song I like," it's very clear-cut and definitive. But adding "pretty much" leaves open the possibility that there could be others (even if you don't really mean it), so it makes it less of a conclusive statement.
