According to the Merriam Webster dictionary the word 'horrific' dates from
the 17th century, and it means to cause horror. While others may have their
own sensitivities to the word, I rarely use it. It is for me a very strong
word, describing strong horror and dismay. And that is why I did use it.

i have an awful reaction to the work "horrific".
it is parroted endlessly and i suspect all who use it.
