comment Who scolded whom in Aに怒られる?
@Derek Schaab - is this a nuance of 怒る? Because I'm pretty sure 使役動詞 can use either 〜に or 〜を (except in the no-two-を's-in-a-row rule).

comment Who scolded whom in Aに怒られる?
I almost posted this as a separate answer, but then I saw it buried in here. +1 for making it clear that the passive is easier to understand if you translate is as "<verb> at/on by <agent>".

@Dave M G - No, 「ボブに怒らせた」means "I made Bob angry". 「ボブが怒らせられた」 means "Bob was made angry", but we don't know by whom.

I can post a Bible verse where it is くだる if that kind of thing isn't "against" the "rules".

イトウさん、フィードバックありがとう。「問題な日本語」っていう辞典はお持ちなら、「~なさそう vs. ~なそう」をトピックとした面白い項目が載ってる。「知らなさ‌​そうだ」っていうものだ。

[You are correct with verbs only taking そうに/もない]. Did you mean "adjectives"? Because that's what I put in the OP.

comment Trouble understanding this apology: 我々が…謝罪
Well, I guess other than 犯罪 meaning 「犯した罪」, where 罪 does not always imply a crime (in the general sense of breaking the law), I can't find anything. And I don't see why you think I'm confused about "offense", because what you said is exactly what I was talking about. "We apologize for offending you (with this image)." What works then?? 過失? 過誤? 罪過?

comment What's the difference between the に祈る【にいのる】 and を祈る【をいのる】 forms?
+1 about 〜ように. If you simply use 〜に, this indicates the object to whom you're praying. Usually like, 神様に祈る (or whomever you pray to). Thus, it doesn't make sense to pray to 「うまういくの」.
