[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:57 I think that usage is fine, it implies that you feel petrified of something. It can be fear or surprise but contemporary usage is implicit fear. See below. Why, I felt petrified with astonishment--although, in view of the fact that you had failed me for four days, I had been expecting some such extraordinary occurrence. Poor Folk by Dostoyevsky, Fyodor [/quote] I can see being pertrified with astonishment, but for some reasons being petrified "of" something seems off to me. I don't know why it bugs me so.[/quote]
