    The definition does include mere injury. Though it does add the qualifier “severely” so now I need to know how that dictionary defines “severe.”

    Also: The Internet has proven for years that the Language Police exist for all languages. Though they’re more like gestapo. Hence the moniker “Grammar Nazi.” 😌

      Oh shoot, you’re totally right! I’ll admit I skimmed - thank you for calling me out on that.

      I’ll still stand by the fact the definition has changed over time, but I can’t really argue much of anything after such a big fuckup lmao.

      • I just find it interesting because I saw a video on this exact definition the other day, being pedantic about electrocution specifically meaning death. It must have been like the definition for “literally” where because of its usage, now includes the definition of “figuratively.”
