I literally just saw some kind of medicine commercial asking someone if they were feeling sick and nauseous.

Good factoid, which I didn't believe when I read your post, but my dictionary agrees with you (at least, 72% of the expert panel it polled did).When nauseous was FIRST introduced, it’s meaning was to feel sick or to feel nausea, but then it was changed to mean to cause nausea. So technically, when people say they are nauseous and mean they are nauseated, they’re using the original meaning before it changed to what became known as the traditional distinction.
I’m betting some overlapping confusion with noxiousGood factoid, which I didn't believe when I read your post, but my dictionary agrees with you (at least, 72% of the expert panel it polled did).

have you checked the portal ? I would probably call or email if you dont have any information in the portal.Hey guys, I don’t want to start a whole topic to ask this, but if I got an interview invitation on Monday, replied ~5 hrs later and haven’t received a confirmation on the date (it’s been 5 days) is it appropriate to email again just to check they got my email? Every other invite I’ve gotten has been very responsive.

That always confuses me too. Because father-in-law and mother-in-law don't carry over. But brother/sister-in-law does. Where does it end?
Ha. It’s funny because data can be used as a singular noun.
That’s datum to you mister
Ha. This made me lol in class.
My workplace even has motivational posters in the bathroom!

I work in a mental health non-profit and surprisingly we just have memes in our office. Or maybe that's the real key to sanity...My first command had suicide awareness posters.
We could build sooooo many shopping malls if we just clear cut all the rainforests!
Reminds me of the New Yorker short story about a Libertarian police department.
