Wording...
300 people lost their lives....How did they lose them? Will they find them? Where exactly did their lives go, and if found can we give them back?
Seriously how does one lose their life, I wouldn't say they lose it...they die. Maybe say 300 people's lives ended. There's no confusion, no possibility of finding and returning, providing a clear concise explanation.
Does anyone else notice these little nuances?

I'd file this under splitting hairs.
There are dozens of colloquial phrases we could dissect in the same fashion.

Another question, if numerous people call you a retard, are you retarded? Are they retarded? How would you know if you were retarded unless someone told you? Do retarded people know they're retarded? I wonder these things as the day goes on. I'm in sales so I'm constantly on the move interacting with people and observing their behaviors. How life on this planet continues to flourish amazes me
