It sounds nice that words such as "killed" "executed" etc. People know what the words mean, using a nicer tearm is not as harsh and sin't as rude.

Anybody read 1984? Why not just get rid of all words that aren't necessary. Just have "Good" and "Oppisite Good" to describe good and bad. What use are all other words of describing something?

The ability to choose which word your using is important. Perhaps the word would have been different if Older people versus younger people were going to read it.

If i'm telling someone that someone died, i'm going to use a gentle word, not something harsh. In this case, a harsh word isn't needed. The point is made, and everyone understands it.
