wrong

A wrong (from Old English wrang – 'crooked') is an act that is illegal or immoral. Legal wrongs are usually quite clearly defined in the law of a state and/or jurisdiction. They can be divided into civil wrongs and crimes (or criminal offences) in common law countries, while civil law countries tend to have some additional categories, such as contraventions.
Moral wrong is an underlying concept for legal wrong. Some moral wrongs are punishable by law, for example, rape or murder. Other moral wrongs have nothing to do with law. On the other hand, some legal wrongs, such as many types of parking offences, could hardly be classified as moral wrongs.

    We have manhole covers over the septic tank in the garden that are rusting and becoming weak. Without lifting the cover, I measured the size of the hole (i.e. the internal part of the frame ) to be 620x470mm. However, all the manhole covers seem to be 600x450mm or 24x18". Is my hole...

    Hi, The thermostat attached to my HW cylinder seems the wrong way round, i.e. when I turn the dial to 0 it heats to 70 and when turned to 70 the water doesn't heat up. Is this a case of internal wiring being the wrong way around? It's been like that since installed, never caused a problem but...

    What can happen when the wrong pump is installed

    I've just found a load of old photos I took when I was an apprentice. Among them was this standard circulating pump that was installed on an unvented secondary return circuit. It should have been a bronze pump as I'm sure you know. I was called to re-install the unvented cylinder which was up in...

    Hot and cold pipes the wrong way round.

    Hi. I have just had a new bathroom installed. However, for some reason the cold taps have hot water coming out and vice versa for both the bath and the shower.
