Appealing? something like "reizend", while appalling has a rather wide number of possibilities. "Entsetzlich" comes to mind. Certainly none that I can think of that would be as punnishly similar as the two English words. Aufgehaben? Go back to German 0.1 and don't pass go! :-) I * ~ you can also mail me at <lime909@hotmail.com>

Hmmm... "anziehend" (_almost_ appealling) und "abstossend" (appalling)? :P
