    Typefitter murdered six different sandwiches that were drowning in mayo, leaving many coffee shop patrons horrified and forcing one lady to be rushed to the hospital by a local motorist.

    Are you also offended by "The Warriors killed/slaughtered/destroyed the Kings by 30 points."?

    "Also"?

    When was I first offended?

    Convergence of posters. Seems like a strange place to draw the line.

    Not you. You were explaining another poster whom I responded to.

    I think maybe I share too much.

    You think “killed” should show up in professional copy in this context?

    No, I'm legitimately inquiring if it's just murdered or any of those. I didn't understand what you meant. When I teach, I encourage my students not to say kill when they mean murder. I wasn't sure what you were getting at.
