to "I'm sorry"

I know it's not my fucking fault

I was just saying I'm sorry that you had to experience whatever you had to experience

we also need to have an argument for "nauseous" versus "nauseated"

personally I think if someone goes out of their way to "correct" someone on saying nauseous instead of nauseated, they are being too pedantic



not to mention you're just an asshole

who the fuck ever grew up saying nauseated

do you not understand what people say when they mean nauseous

they're both just as correct; you just sound like a fucking turd correcting someone on it

the difference is that one is wrong and one is right

don't correct people on being wrong, though
just let 'em seem like idiots

Sometimes when Mac programs would send error messages, they would say first "It's not my fault": http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=796221

did you grow up saying "nauseated"

no

you fucking grew up saying nauseous, as did everyone else, until some English major assholes decided it would be fruitful to "correct" everyone else (despite the fact that everyone says it)

I'm confused, what is this nauseous business?

Which one is what now?

Quote :

"The two literal senses of nauseous, “causing nausea” ( a nauseous smell ) and “affected with nausea” ( to feel nauseous ), appear in English at almost the same time in the early 17th century, and both senses are in standard use at the present time. Nauseous is more common than nauseated in the sense “affected with nausea,” despite recent objections by those who imagine the sense to be new. In the sense “causing nausea,” either literally or figuratively, nauseating has become more common than nauseous : a nauseating smell. "

unless i'm reading something wrong somewhere, nauseous-corrector-folk are simultaneously pedantic AND misinformed. which is the worst combination.

nauseous means affected with nausea. "to feel nauseous" is correct.

so confused

hysterical and hilarious really grinds my gears. in no way are those two words related beyond starting with an "H"

^

they both mean (among other things) "really funny"

"World English Dictionary hysterical or hysteric (h?'st?r?k ? l) — adj 1. of or suggesting hysteria: hysterical cries 2. suffering from hysteria 3. informal wildly funny"
