Because no one else had updated when I checked 3 times in the last 5 minutes
Exceptionally bored, even though I have a ton of homework to do.
Here's a question seeking an answer. Maybe if I like your answer, I'll send you a pretty postcard or something. :)
When we say something is "terrific" it's good.
When we say something is "horrific" it's bad.
But they come from terror and horror, right? Both of which are negative terms, terror usually being a more threatening word. So, why do these forms of the words mean such different things in our language?
Talk amongst yourselves.
