"Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid" is a colloquialism and should not be taken literally. It's downright scary that some of you are. Well, not really, but that's another colloquialism. Ironic given that poor "written English skills" are part of the OP's complaint.

No it isn't, its a tagline from a movie -- you have no idea what it means, or what sundialsvc4 meant by it, the only safe meaning is the literal meaning	[reply]

Sorry, but a literal interpretation does not match the common usage today, which is more along the lines of "be concerned" than actual fear. And being a tag line from a movie actually supports that it is a colloquialism! Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks My deviantART gallery	[reply]
