Title: "Scared of you" vs. "feared of you"
Question: I am not scared of you.  I am not feared of you.    Are both grammatical? Is there a difference in meaning between them?

Answers:
sents: text: The verbs fear and scare reverse their object and subject, like the verbs learn and teach .
text: The fox scares the rabbit.
text: The rabbit fears the fox.
text: The rabbit is scared of the fox.
text: The fox is feared by the rabbit.
text: Using feared of to mean scared of is not standard English.
text: However,some dialects use feared of to mean scared of : I never was feared of Flint in my life, and by the powers, I'll face him dead.
text: — Treasure Island , by Robert Louis Stevenson.
text: This kind of reversal of subject and object is not uncommon in languages.
text: For example, in some dialects learn can also mean teach :
text: Why, she tried to learn you your book, she tried to learn you your manners, she tried to be good to you every way she knowed how.
text: — Huckleberry Finn , by Mark Twain
text: These uses of feared of and learn are not standard English.
text: In fact, the verb fear is not used with the preposition of in standard English.
text: Note that in the dialects that use these non-standard forms, there is little chance of confusion with the standard meanings; the prepositions distinguish feared of and feared by , and learn means teach only when it has an indirect object.
