Guilty Conscience or Guilty Conscious? Hey,
I am again stuck between these two phrases.
Which of them is correct?

Can you please explain me each with an example?
Thanking You.

Re: Guilty Conscience or Guilty Conscious? Which one?
You are acting like you have a guilty conscience.
She was barely conscious when the paramedics arrived.I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

Teacher Re: Guilty Conscience or Guilty Conscious? Please remember to write "Thanks", not "thanx". Other learners reading the thread may be confused and think that your spelling is correct English.
