So I'm so confused which has the stronger sense between 2 words "extraordinary" and "unusually"
But I still stand on my idea...

A giant thing is something extraordinary in size or power beyond our fancy.

A huge thing is something enormous, gigantic, immense or vast but we can imagine its size or power.

To conclude, a giant thing is bigger than a huge one.


@beatlemania: An extremely large thing is bigger than a very large one.

I should make a poll so that people may vote for "giant tower", "huge tower" or "both".
