    I didn’t miss it. It just doesn’t cleanly fit into this framework (imagine it as a square table instead of a list):

    Horror + -ble = horrible (bad) Horror + -ific = horrific (bad) Terror + -ble = terrible (bad) Terror + -ific = terrific (good)

        Genius! Also, did you know “whale” comes from “large sea fish?” Ridiculous. Another one for the list.
