How to use "Merciless" in context?
When one thinks of severe punishment, they might think of something like a whipping or imprisonment. However, there is another, even harsher form of punishment that exists- the type that leaves no mark on the victim. It is called "merciless" punishment, and it is the most severe form of punishment that a criminal can receive.
Merciless punishment is often reserved for the most serious crimes, and it is often meted out in cases where the victim is an innocent person.
