two questions again
Hi,
1. I saw this as a case of an insolvable question.
If horrific means to make horrible, does terrific mean to ...?
Why not italicize or make it like this?
If the word 'horrific' means to make horrible, does the word 'horrible' mean to ...?
If horrific means to make horrible, does terrific mean to ...?
2. What is the underlined part grammatically?
I told you to get these trucks loaded.

1. It's a good idea to use italics or quotes. Horrific and terrific are adjectives, not verbs, and consequently they can't mean "to make".
