My favorite pet peeve:
Nauseous vs. Nauseated Do you know the difference? Most authors don’t.
The difference in meaning between nauseated and nauseous is similar to the difference between the words poisoned and poisonous. A person who feels sick to their stomach is nauseated. Whatever it is that is making them feel that way is nauseous. For example, sour milk is nauseous and makes you feel nauseated when you smell it. A person would never say, "I feel poisonous" (unless they have a mouthful of venom, ha ha), so I person would never say, "I feel nauseous." I hope this helps!
