Pedants on the EDF

[Laddy Muck]

Hmmmm...in this case, I think not. The words are sung with vigour, most vociferously, and without pause.

Yeah, that appears to have been my fault. Only wanted a friendly dig at StraferJack, but the OP of the thread took it a bit personally.

It's Worcestershire Sauce - the county, not the city.

I'll get my coat.

No, no, no....

Nothing wrong with that.

It is claimed that Fatally injured has the same meaning as dead

"Mum there's a Fatally wounded tree on the landing."

Does it?

[*Bob*]

You could ask the bloke's family and friends maybe?

After all, there's a fair chance some of them will be reading.

  Quote

fa?tal/ˈfātl/

Adjective:

- Causing death.

- Leading to failure or disaster.

Synonyms:

mortal - deadly - fateful - lethal - deathly - pernicious

So if you have been fatally injured, then yes, you are indeed dead. Chainsaws can have a fatal effect on trees, for instance.

[*Bob*]

You know.. just ask them:

"Excuse me, could you help settle an argument: was you son/brother/mate fatally injured, or is he just dead?"

[The Minkey]

"So if you have been fatally injured, then yes, you are indeed dead."

Tempting.
