I would like to know the classification of the adverbs of degree from the strongest to the weakest.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWERS

There is no definitive linear series of intensity; the adverbs of degree are a varied lot, and approach being an open set: Almost, nearly,
quite, just, too, so, enough, hardly, scarcely, completely, very, extremely, adequately, almost, entirely, greatly, highly, hugely,
immensely, moderately, partially, perfectly, practically, profoundly,
really, spectacularly, strongly, totally, tremendously, virtually, etc
