Saw the world 'electrocuted' being used incorrectly and got annoyed.
For the record, here's the definition: "Electrocution is death caused by electric shock, either accidental or deliberate" (taken from Wikipedia. Google includes injury).
Sure the elephant could have been injured or killed but the article seems to imply that it wasn't.
The correct term, by the way, is 'electric shock'.
