What do the Yanks know??
When they want a pee they "go to the bathroom" - that would cause them a problem in my house!

As Stated Electrocution means Dead.
Electrical Execution.
If you are Dead does that mean you are Dead past and point of possible revival - I think so. If you are capable of being revived then you are not dead.
Nonsense.They called a hand-basin that because of what they used to do in it...
ah but the height off the floor was determined by something completely different (ladies don't try this at home!!)
A man went into a shop in the old Soviet era Russia."Yes we have no bananas"
You said "Do you NOT actually read previous posts before replying?!?!"
and I said "NO I do".
If you had actually said ""Do you actually read previous posts before replying?!?!"
Then I would have said "YES I do"
The Not changes the Yes to a No as in
"Yes we have no bananas"
Anyway if someone dies then is revived then does this mean they did not actually die by virtue of the fact they were reviveable?
Even if the OED has capitulated to incorrect usage, a quick trawl through other online sources shows that Cambridge, Merriam-Webster, and several others still retain the proper definition.
Wasn't it the OED which came under fire from English professors a year or two ago for including a whole load of fleeting-usage slang terms?
Yes there is - you can correct them each and every time they do it - you can choose to never let it go by.I'm not happy that the significance of 'electrocution' is being diluted but unfortunately there's not much you can do about it if people start using it inappropriately,
No - you end up being somebody with knowledge and skills and principles, taking a stand against ignorance and incompetence and the disgusting lack of interest in doing things properly.you end up becoming a pedant
There is every point. They are wrong and you are right.no point explaining correct usage
