Scroll down on that site, literally. Words have more that one meaning.
Here's what I get from MacOS's dictionary: institute legal proceedings against (a person or organization).
I can also be pedantic and insist that, even under the strict interpretation you are vouching for ...
>Looking/sounding like somebody else (even if its famous) is not prosecutable.
... is a correct argument.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoIf this is really your hill to die on, go for it. Using “prosecute” to refer to civil litigation is not standard English in any dialect circa 1850.
- moralestapia 2y agoEasy peasy, yes/no answer. From your understanding, is looking/sounding like somebody else (even if its famous) prosecutable or not?
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> is looking/sounding like somebody else (even if its famous) prosecutable or not? No. And if a lawmaker claimed they would like it to be, and then claimed they meant civilly litigible, they’d be labelled dishonest. (Even if it was an honest mistake.)
- moralestapia 2y ago>Looking/sounding like somebody else (even if its famous) is not prosecutable. Great, then we agree. :^)
- CRConrad 2y agoYeah, I agree too. It's not prosecutable... But it is sue-able. So, to return to your original point: Did you have one?
