Why not use the word "killed"?

Why not use the word "killed"?

Because it sounds terrible. We live in world where right now worlds are more relevant than acts. From freeing people (by shelling them) to euthanize a walrus (by killing it) there is a huge bunch of situations where the wording is the most relevant part of our actions (yeah, it sucks).
