Yes, I'm aware that in casual speech, "electrocute" is often used as a synonym for "electric shock."
However, in a discussion about tasers of all things, I think it pays to use the more classically correct definition. Saying that a taser is designed to electrocute you but not kill you simply invites confusion.
