Are You Feeling Nauseous?

Guess what, folks!  Nauseous things make you feel nauseated.  Some of you might argue that you never get carsick, even when other people next to you are sick, but the word nauseous actually means something that stirs up a feeling of nausea.  When Joe says that he is feeling nauseous, it means that he feels like he is giving others nausea.

So, the next time that you feel sick to your stomach, you will know that the correct word to use is 'nauseated,' and the next time you get up in the morning feeling like the very sight of you will make people sick to their stomachs, you will be able to say "I feel nauseous today" with perfect confidence.  Doesn't that make you feel better?

Oh, and one other thing.  The next time Joe tells you that he is feeling nauseous, look him up and down, then look him right in the eye and tell him that he is.
