Examples

For all purposes of practice it is unnecessary to draw any distinction between a burn and a scald, for in reality none exists, except as regards the nature of the causative agent.

En pratique, il est inutile de distinguer brûlure et ébouillantage, car la seule différence tient à la nature de l'agent causal.
