Meanie. Title: Woman Dies After Drowning In Swimming Pool Post by: Conan71 on June 22, 2007, 08:39:55 am Huh? I must've missed something. Did they change the link to the story? I fail to find any humor in it.
Title: Woman Dies After Drowning In Swimming Pool Post by: tulsacyclist on June 22, 2007, 09:04:32 am Generally 'drowning' means to die by suffocating in water or another liquid substance, so I guess to say a lady 'dies after drowning' could be read as she drowned (died) and then died again after that. I saw the comedy.

Perhaps technically you can. To me, drowning implies the person was not revived. Otherwise it's a "near drowning." Anyhow, this woman apparently drowned, and then died. Impressive.

Sorry I have my "obtuse" shoes on today. [;)] Title: Woman Dies After Drowning In Swimming Pool Post by: sgrizzle on June 22, 2007, 09:34:44 am The movie "So I married an axe murdered" had a woman in it talking about how horrible it was being electrocuted, claiming past experience. No-one corrected her either.

Ah, the english language.

I'm not talking about grabbing the prongs on a 110V plug, more like 480V. "Drowned" does have more of a finality to it. Of course, I've drowned my sorrows before and they didn't die right away.
