Yesterday I discovered that I have been using the word “nauseous” all wrong. It is not “I am nauseous,” but rather “I am nauseated.” Well, I am nauseated by my ignorance. Luckily, there are some words that I know I use correctly because they’re straight out of my own dictionary. Here are words in my lexicon that have originated from good friends, bad times, and a somewhat mediocre existence.
