atw: Re: pet hates

Perhaps better to consider "ill" vs "sick" - one is Old Norse, the other 
OldEnglish, both appear to cover the same thing although the latter is more 
associated with explicit expression of illness (!) and includes the act of 
vomiting - "I was just sick"  is more common than "I was just ill" but both 
slot into "I am sick" or "I am ill" to cover the issue of not being well. (but 
then we move into being 'unwell', where that term appears to have different 
qualitative subtlties to being 'sick' or 'ill'.)


Role on newspeak.
