Thread Name: BS: I hate it when.........
Subject: RE: BS: I hate it when.........
I hate it when people use the word "nauseous" when they mean "nauseated." If you are nauseous, it makes other people sick to look at you. If I look at a nauseous painting, I become nauseated.

I hate it when pedants rant on about some detail of language that 95% of the people neither understand nor care about....
