2 -abuse o misuse?-
Nota d'usoAbuse e misuse indicano entrambi un trattamento scorretto o cattivo, ma hanno sfumature molto diverse e non devono essere confusi. Abuse è il termine dal significato più forte, perché si riferisce anche a un trattamento deliberatamente violento, crudele o improprio oppure a insulti: to abuse a child, abusare di un bambino; to hurl abuse at someone, gridare insulti a qualcuno. Misuse, invece, significa “usare in maniera scorretta o per uno scopo non appropriato”: to misuse public funds, fare cattivo uso di fondi pubblici, commettere un peculato.
