Hilarious when people try to police other's language and they don't even know what they are talking about.  What a fool the PP is.[/quote]

I know it's a thread from 2016, but from the link provided, reading further:

[quote]Frequently Asked Questions About nauseous

[b]Is one nauseous or nauseated?[/b]

Some usage guides have held that there should be a strict distinction between nauseous and nauseated, with the first word meaning "causing nausea or disgust" and the second one meaning "affected with nausea." However, nauseous has been in widespread enough use for both of these senses that this distinction is now quite blurred. Nauseous may mean either "causing nausea" or "affected with nausea"; nauseated, on the other hand, is restricted in meaning to "affected with nausea; feeling disgust."[/quote]

The term was being used incorrectly so frequently that language evolved to embrace the error. It happens.[/quote]
