Hello all. I'm a non-native English speaker and I'm wondering if the
use of the adjective "dead" in "dead beattery" sounds appropriate in a
decent technical writing. My boss is against using "dead" and suggests
"flat" as a better alternative. I will take his advice since "flat" is
also a suitable choice of word, but I still wonder "dead battery"
really sounds negative? I think I had saw "dead battery " used in
rather formal writings written by native English speakers. Could any
native English speaking people enlighten me in the use of "dead
battery"? Thank you.
