I was trying unsuccessfully to be wry about one of my pet peeves.

You have made me hopeful again and happy to see that others are equally ill at ease with the misuse of that word.

The word has always made me want to become a regurgitator.

Webster's says nauseous can be used to mean what most people use it to mean, and I agree. Also http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-nau1.htm.
