accusatory, accusatorial and accusative #1 (permalink) Sun Sep 14, 2008 7:30 am   accusatory, accusatorial and accusative
 

Hello!

Please take a look at the following sentences:

Quote:
1. I am lying here on my death bed and there you are being all accusatory!

2. I am lying here on my death bed and there you are being all accusatorial!

3. I am lying here on my death bed and there you are being all accusative!


I am very confused. Which one is the right one in this particular situation? I think number two is the correct one.

Thanks,
Cantik

I don't mean to be pushy, but is my question too hard to understand? Is there any point I should clarify?

Thanks,
Cantik

The dictionary I'm looking at says they are all synonyms. I'm more familiar with "accusative" being used in grammar, but it has distince meanings, so any of the three seems to be okay.
