dookdookdook Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 If you look at the history of the words, at one time they meant the same thing, awe inspiring, which could be a positive or negative meaning. Over time their usage diverged and awesome was used generally to mean good, impressive, etc. while awful took on the negative meaning, bad, ugly, unpleasant, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
