Forget writing: my new life's goal is to figure out how to make one of those.

"Scared" was used as a form of the verb "scare," so it meant "to be terrified." "Scary" was formed later, in the 1500s, to mean "terrifying," probably to distinguish it from "scared." In "scared," the referent feels terror; in "scary," the referent produces terror.

I suppose a better verb would have been "reiterating" and not "proclaiming."

I had to read the article for a high-school class, and his callousness under the guise of "fairness" made me SO ANGRY that I wrote a letter to the editor of my local paper.
It's my first published clip. And marks the point when I realized I was a feminist. (2/2)
