And that my friends, solves a mystery for me. I asked in some long forgotten comment section somewhere for examples of ous/ic word combinations that were not chemical in nature. You see, the French blessed us with a disappearing chemical nomenclature (think ferric vs. ferrous or cupric vs. cuprous). The "ic" suffix indicates a higher oxidation state than "ous."
I wondered if there were other examples in the English language that were not chemical and Sixty just hit the first one: barbaric/barbarous.
That is a long time favorite of mine and I am glad I can still hear the upper range of the violin solo - have to turn up the volume, but that portion of my hearing is not totally shot yet.
I hate Sarah Jessica Parker, Robin Williams, Tim Robbins, Susan Saradon, the BJ Hunnicut guy, brussel sprouts, the Boston Red Sox, commies and well, lawyers.

Can anyone think of others?
Ralph Vaughan Williams "A Lark Ascending" just started playing on my Pandora. It is harmonious and harmonic.
But I can't think of anything, Monsieur Le Poulet. Don't know where that came from, either, as RVW is as English as English can be. British, even.
