@bramachari:It's one of those common usage problems.
"Nauseated" is the proper and preferred form, while "nauseous" is slipping into common usage to the point where it's being accepted by many as meaning "feeling sick" or "affected by nausea".
I do concede to your point though and if you scroll up, you'll see that you influenced a post today.
@sharkync: Nope, it's just Rosa. And how could I not be concerned about muscle loss? If all the menfolk turned into wimps then I'd have no one to bring groceries into the kitchen...
@Rosa Golijan: On the other hand random exposure to space born gamma rays could turn the men into the Hulks allowing potentially unlimited grocery carrying ability.

The thought of this thing may be nauseous indeed, but I don't see how it could make YOU nauseous.
("Nauseous" means causing nausea)
