Sunday's Grammar Lesson

Okay class. Today we will cover anxious/eager. Another misuse that drives me crazy.

Anxious = Incorrect: I'm anxious for Christmas to get here. Anxious actually means that you are so worked up over something you could quite literally vomit. (Which, in my case could be true about Christmas because I normally do get too excited that I end up vomiting, but that's not the point of this post.)

Eager = Excited. I am eager to interview with you, or I am eager to discuss my vacation with you.
