When I was at primary school (late 70s) we had it drilled into us that while a person may be suspicious, a package could only be suspect, lacking the mental capacity to experience suspicion and be suspicious? Well, I was wondering what's the situation with dubious, doubtful etc. Is there / was there ever a distinction like that concerning dubious / doubtful and related words? Is the suspicious / suspect distinction dead these days anyway? One sees posters about suspicious packages. I always imagine my old English teach Miss Creek turning in her grave when I see one.... Separately, do I need to get out more?
