That’s unfortunate, I guess. I mean, even though I do have my phone set to only charge up to 85%, I don’t really know if this is battery protective or not.

Is it?

I just enabled the option because the description of the feature claimed it to be. I haven’t researched this at all

Are you sure you don’t already have something like this? My android is a couple years old, but has always let me charge to only 85%

I am saying that the word had a particular meaning when it was coined. Many people seem to use it for other things, and the dictionary reflects this. It seems odd to mean that a word that is almost nakedly a combination of electricity and execute is used to not mean killed by electricity, but it is the case

I’m not really sure what your objection is to what I’ve said.

Well, it certainly did, and that is the way I use it. I have heard people use it in other ways

I’m not disagreeing that it can sometimes happen as you’ve illustrated above. I am saying that it often does happen that coiners of new words know just what they mean by them. The person who came up with ‘electrocute’ knew exactly what he meant by it - to kill with electricity (notice how the word is a portmanteau of electricity and execute). That the word has started to be used by some as a word to mean something less specific is to me unfortunate, but is a good example of how words change over time. At any rate, it seems obvious that sometimes the definitions of words arrive fully formed at their birth, though not always so

You’d have to be pretty strict about what you mean by ‘definition’ in order to claim this. When words are coined, it seems likely that the speaker knows what he means by the word, even if he hasn’t written the definition down somewhere

Don’t you remember?

OP probably meant fish, octopus, and squid

I tried this but I didn’t have a banana, so I used an onion. It wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. 1 star

Man, I’m driving a 20yo VW here in the US. If I were driving a Nissan instead, just how old would my car be??
