I was quite shocked.

The strange thing is I tend to use it both ways. Making every time I use "quite" quite ambiguous.

After I read this thread I has a short discussion about 'quite' with Mr Shauna. It ended with us both being very confused about how we use the word, and a decision that we should stop talking about it.

We seem to use it in both ways, was the conclusion we came to before we moved the conversation onto something else.
