I had a business supplying carpet cleaning equipment to hardware stores, where they were rented to do-it-yourself customers.  There was a section on the rental contract where store cashiers could note any problems reported by rental customers. I found one with a cashier's note that said "Customer said she got a shock from the machine and it electrocuted her."This message has been edited.

I guess the man’s wife who survived was just shocked. Merriam-Webster says “to kill or severely injure”. To get really technical the other direction, electrocution is specifically a judicial execution process, so it was used wrong on both counts. | |||

Had the business for more than twenty years, so we saw some "interesting" stuff. One helpful note that we found taped to a machine: "It's broke, yo." Another note said "It doesn't suck" -- referring to a non-functional vacuum. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Please don’t get me started on the use of the word literally when people mean it figuratively.  | |||

"My car(house) was ROBBED!!!" - a proclamation often posted on Ring or ND. No, it's a burglary and not a robbery. There's a difference. | |||

Leave it to Fox News to continue with their idiocy. Multiple people electrocuted in ‘freak accident’ while enjoying swim in pool, but none of them died, apparently.

| Thank you Very little  |
Interesting tidbit, Electrocute was not used much in the late 1800's... Other than the little blip around 1840,  | |||

I see a lot of dictionary sites that define electrocute as: "to kill or severely injure by electric shock." | |||
