Let me see--can I afflict someone with something? If I have a contagious illness and pass it to another, have I afflicted them?
I trust someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd say you were afflicted by the illness, not the person. IOW the illness is your affliction.
I just made up that IOW. Is that a legit abbr?
