Am I missing something? 'Aghast at' is the usual expression but I don't see why 'aghast from' is incorrect??

Because it is the contemplation of the situation that you are observing that makes you aghast. Although uncommon 'aghast by' or 'rendered aghast by' would make sense. You could use 'aghast from' if you add a preceding verb, such as 'shrunk aghast from the fearful task'.....but in this sense you are 'shrinking' 'from' something. Aghast is an adjective. Anyway, I was just picking on Gronk coz he was picking someone else and probably stole his lunch money as well.

I blame it on the pair of you.

Ah, well that makes sense. I think.

The world is a terrible place these days. Even plain old 'aghast by' is prolly rong too, but I couldn't be aghast checking.

 

[Gary Gutful]

It's pronounced 'agave'.

You blame yourself?

Inspected this house this morning in the local area. I was reluctant to go because it was on a main street. However despite it being a little dated (very 90's) never have I entered a place that has such calmness about it. It freaked me out. I don't know if it's because the owner is a buddhist but I have seen a tonne of homes and have never experienced a feeling like it.

My Asian friends tell me about this feeling all the time and now I understand.

Are any of you guys on linkedin? I have had to get it for work. I don't do any other social media apart from wasting my time on this site.

I'm on it but don't really use it for much.
A few people have contacted me on it looking for jobs but really it just seems like a place to advertise your credentials.

Yeah im on it, but I am not much into the social sites .... as twiz said its about networking and keeping in touch with people who might help get you a job later .... alot of people i have worked with seem quite into it .... i also get dozens of agents trying to link up to try and use you for commissions - depends what industry you are in

I'm on it. It used to be good but now it is just full of 'look at me' types,

I'm on LinkedIn but I never use it. I don't understand it actually. What are you supposed to do?
Same as Facebook. I don't understand that either. You post pictures of places you've been or cats or something, and sayings that you like or music that you like or .......... who gives a f**k?
