I'm a bit lost on the logic of this but it may be more a reflection on the 
speaker than the spoken to.

Maybe the girls' age to which Tony Babonas referred is not a necessary 
qualification. Possibly "Sticks and stones .." stays with some for life.

I believe I've noted before that you are one of the spittle-flecked brigade so 
your response is to be expected.

It's not all that easy to be able to tell the difference now I look into it:

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dread

adj.
1. Causing terror or fear: a dread disease.
2. Inspiring awe: the dread presence of the headmaster.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dreaded

adj.
1. Causing terror or fear: a dread disease.
2. Inspiring awe: the dread presence of the headmaster.

Google prefers "dread" to "dreaded" in a ratio of 2 to 1. I win!
