And Electrocution is execution by electricity.
If you’re still alive, then it’s a nasty shock.
you where Not "Electrocuted " as you would not be able to post due to either been dead or really messed up
It doesn't matter that the poor guy has incorrectly used the word 'electrocuted' . Semantics can wait
I always used to think "electrocuted" meant killed by electricity. And Collins and Cambridge dictionaries define it this way. Electrically executed.
Seems that Oxford have defined electrocuted as killed or seriously injured by electricity.
Either way, this was a serious incident that could have had fatal consequences, an incident that should never have happened, and steps need to be taken to ensure it never happens again. Whether in a workplace environment or somebody's home, electricity can kill or seriously injure.
