This is why I hold each and every one of you in abject contempt. DUUUUDE. HARSH! Also, is "abject" the adjective you want? A quick google
search shows about 43000 hits for "abject horror" and only 236 for "abject contempt." Also, a quick look at Merriam-Webster's online dictionary demonstrates that you may be amiss here: *1* *:* sunk to or existing in a low state or condition <to lowest pitch of *abject* fortune thou art fallen -- John Milton> *2 a* *:* cast down in spirit *: SERVILE<http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/servile>, SPIRITLESS <http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/spiritless>* <a man made *abject*by suffering> *b* *:* showing hopelessness or resignation <*abject* surrender> *3* *:* expressing or offered in a humble and often ingratiating spirit <* abject* flattery> <an *abject* apology> How about "deep, utter, total, unmitigated, withering, etc contempt"? Any of these adjectives might better convey what you feel. OTOH, don't wanna put words in your mouth. -- Ross Bender http://rossbender.org
