"lethal" versus "leather"

Tuesday, January 26, 2016 May I bring it to your notice that the word "lethal" isn't the same as "leather", lest someone joins the league of people who use them interchangeably. CAUTION: The one you are used to is, perhaps, "leather", meaning a material made from animals' skin. e.g. I love my new brown leather belt. The word "lethal" means "fatal", "risky", "deadly", "harmful", "dangerous", "disastrous", and what have you. e.g. Rats are now giving Nigerians such a lethal blow, in the name of Lassa fever, that we need to get rid of them all. Can you see now?
