    Personally, I think illiterates, that is, people who understand
their native tongue so little as to spell "sickening" with the absurd
"sickning", are sickening.  You are all doomed to burn in Hell
forever.  "Sickening" obviously comes from the root "sick", with the
suffix "-en" meaning "to become", and the "-ing" suffix further
appended to make the meaning "to cause to become sick".  How else
would you spell it?  Where did you go to school, Antarctica?
