And now that you've brought it up, I'm at least slightly annoyed
by people who use "nauseous" (capable of causing nausea) when
they mean "nauseated" (feeling nausea). "Nauseous" is roughly
synonymous with "noxious".

Saying "I am nauseous" is kind of like saying "I am exhausting"
when you mean "I am exhausted". The statement may be true,
but it is probably not the meaning you intended to convey...

I'm not sure if I'd go as far as to say that it makes me puke, but the
improper use of the words "that" and "which" makes me nauseous.
