As a man who mildy electrocuted himself working on his own house yesterday I must say I'd rather be an influencer.

I'm going to be annoying and tell you that you were mildly shocked, not electrocuted. "Electrocute" specifically refers to lethal exposure to electricity, as a portmanteau of "electric" and "execute".

Though I think the word is starting to go the way of "literally".

Also incorrect. It's to be injured or killed by electric shock.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
