It's the difference between a great meal and an exceptional one. What do you think? Do you use these words interchangeably, or do you notice a distinction?"

Both superb and excellent would mean very good, but superb is a bit more positive. Excellent is a more formal word and is used much more often to show that something is of high quality in a professional or academic setting. “Superb” evokes more emotion and is usually used to convey a high level of performance or admiration. In normal speaking terms, they may be interchangeable; however, “superb” is more expressive and “excellent” is more neutral and precise. This will depend on the tone and context.
