Worse, it brought more focus on Richard Sharp with it becoming more widely known about his connections to Johnson. Whilst they are different roles it looks so bad to suspend Lineker for making a political comment on his personal Tweeter feed whilst your Chairman is a Tory Donor and helped arrange a loan to the Prime Minister who appointed him!

Immeasurably is not a particularly complicated or advanced word? I wouldn't think anyone using it is trying to be clever. It's not like Russell Brand who liked to vomit a thesaurus onto every article he wrote. It's a perfectly cromulent word.
