Its okay I'll make everything alright

Now you may be a bit down or have some work that you could use some help with or just generally want someone to make things better. Well that is why I am here to:
Ameliorate
the situation. This is a rather useful verb meaning to make things better or improve something. I enjoy its use because of the wonderful melody it creates on saying it and the way you can slip it into many and varied conversations. For instance you could even use it in such an every day sentence as 'you could ameliorate that sandwich by adding a little mayonnaise' or 'if you add error bars to your graph it will ameliorate the results by vindicating them'. Also remember something can be ameliorable as well, i.e. an ameliorable guide that makes finding the best bars easy.
So there you go one small(ish) verb to make everything better.
