Witnesses were stunned,        DH> startled, aghast, taken aback, stupefied, confused, shocked,        DH> rattled, paralysed, dazed, bewildered, mixed up, surprised, awed,        DH> dumbfounded, nonplussed, flabbergasted, astounded, amazed,        DH> confounded, astonished, overwhelmed, horrified, numbed, speechless,        DH> and perplexed.              I wonder, however, how to choose a word from the list. ;-) They also forgot       about bamboozled, flummoxed, giddy, at sixes and sevens, discombobulated,       dismayed, appalled, awe/thunderstruck, wordless, tongue-tied, inarticulate       and, I suppose many others. It have given me an idea that there is something       special in English culture concerning how often people have surprises. ;-)              Bye, Dallas!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2019              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 227/114 229/354 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 1634 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5006 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200       SEEN-BY: 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 280/5003 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
