@Dane3804 no, not really. It's because ppl have forgotten the definition of words, mostly from our pathetically uneducated media. Moreover, the Usage Panel (those who define words and usage in the dictionary) are woke, and hence do not want to persevere the definition of words, because: muh history. Anyway, tragic is supposed to imply an aspect of randomness with a lack of moral culpability: earthquakes, volcanoes, rando viruses, cancer, ....etc. That is a tragedy. If it is the result of human motivations, the death is tragic, but the event is not a tragedy. It could be an atrocity, or an enormity, or some other word. Basically: if you have a decent vocabulary, listening to ppl in positions of authority misuse simple words is maddening.
