Word usage

  • Note
    1. "法不责众" is different from "罚不责众". "法不责众" means that "for a certain behavior which deserves trial, if many people are involved, it will be difficult to conduct punishment"; "罚不责众" means that "for a certain behavior which deserves punishment, if many people are involved, it will be difficult to take punishment". 2."责" cannot be written as "择".
