How do I write this?
Hi.
He threw the ax at the man and one of his arms - the one carrying the gun - got chopped off.
Question: The man was holding the gun in his hand and not the arm, so how do I say this?
Top answer
chop implies a blow, ie that he was holding the ax. But he wasn't, because he had thrown it. I'd say 'eg cut one of his arms off.
