I LOVE the use of the phrase "attempted escape" for successful escapees who, of course, as will always happen, get caught. Hello... That's a successful escape followed by a successful capture. But, an attempted escape would be one in which the incarcerated individual is caught before leaving the confines of the prison boundaries. (Exactly the same as a "near miss" in the FAA and DOT terminology. It should be a near hit. If they nearly missed, they hit. If they nearly hit, they missed. How things are worded, just like punctuation, can completely change the meaning of what's attempting to be portrayed whilst actually portraying the opposite. When I hear "attempted escape," I'm not worried as I assume they never made it out. Tell me the truth so I'm prepared. When I hear "near miss," I'm instantly worried. Especially if someone I know is on the plane or train or car or whatever. I assume it was hit. Correct terminology people... It's important.)
