Look man I just thought it was a useful tip, I'm not here to be told why my idea isn't exactly what makes gatekeepers happy

Dude you are not the gate keeper of useful information, go touch some grass and stop sorting by new to shoot down posts people think up

People who weren't aware of this distinction can use this information to become better informed when presented with a story thusly phrased

I decided to add something like this comment to the post instead for increased visibility, disregard the below content.
Some clarity:
When disasters happen the news will say things like "there were no fatalities and only three injuries, and the injuries were described as non life-threatening." Those injuries may well still be horrific, but the news will often phrase it like that to soften the scale of the event.

Such a good opportunity to end it with "You ain't never had a friend like me" wasted, day ruined, story unreadable
