Make me feel horrible or make me horrible

[Rachel Adams]

Can I omit "feel" from "make me feel horrible"?

"Spiders make me horrible/make me feel horrible. Obviously, they have to be there for the cycle of nature, but I hate the sight of them and their sounds. They carry infection. That's why I prefer a city more than a village/forest. I know some people who eat them, but I don't think they are tasty for dishes.

"make me feel horrible" is better, unless they make you a horrible person. :lol:

I see
Is the rest of the text correct?
I posted this thread on another forum as well.

Perhaps:

I prefer cities to rural areas.

And:

While some people consider them edible, I don't ever want to touch one.

What kinds of sounds do spiders make?

I meant insects generally make sounds.:-? Is this part correct? "I hate the sight of them" and "They carry infection (s)"?

Spiders are not insects. They are arachnids.

Bees buzz.
Crickets chirp.
Crows caw.
Cats purr.

Some animals make hardly any sound at all..

"I hate the sight of them" is okay.

I'm sorry to say it's not a well-written piece. I'm not going to try to change individual bits in the quote box. I'm simply going to rewrite it.

Spiders repulse me. Obviously, they are very important to nature but I hate them and they sounds they make. That's why I prefer living in the city to in the countryside. I know some people eat spiders but I find that idea revolting!

I have tried to keep the main ideas of your paragraph in place but I have made them more natural. I have, however, removed "They carry infection". They don't! Some of them are venomous but that's not the same thing. Spiders are incredibly clean. I found this online: "Indeed, bites from spiders are cleaner and far less likely to transmit disease than those from many biting flies."

This should have been mentioned in post #1, with a link to any replies you might have had and a note about why you weren't satisfied with them.

Which part of it can't you do - the copying or the pasting?

When I'm in an area of poor internet service (as I am now) I often can't cut and paste links. Switching from my usual browser, Google Chrome, to Samsung's web browser sometimes solves the problem.

There is no link to copy and paste. Maybe because I am using my phone?

Re: Makeme feel horrible or make me horrible

Some devices use double tap for selection, and holding your finger to open a menu where you can copy, paste, and depending on your model, google it.

It may be the other way around.

Re: Makeme feel horrible or make me horrible

To be fair, copying and pasting a URL direct from the address bar on my phone rarely works. The address bar doesn't necessarily contain all the text required for a specific page. Sometimes, if I copy the text, when I paste it in, it simply links to the homepage.
However, on most phones, there is an option reached by a string of dots or a "More" button, which is "Copy URL". That should copy the entire address and it can then be pasted.
