My dictionary says "wrong acts" means "vicious/evil acts".
Hitting someone or saying bad things about others behaind their back are bad , but usually not vicious nor evil.
Then, don't you call these acts "wrong acts"?
Thank you in advance!

A wrong act can be any action that is wrong. Most of them have a name.
Murder is called murder.
Why would you call it anything else?
You can use the expression to group together all sorts of things, like murder, rape, robbery, assault, but then we already have a word.
They are called crimes.
I think wrong acts is a weak expression. |
