Definitions[edit]

Hmm, as a native Canadian English speaker I thought this term meant, "to cause disaster, destruction, or other problems". I looked it up to check my spelling when talking of a software bot running amok. Could not one say, "Her business plans ran amok"? Or is it just me? — excarnateSojourner (talk · contrib) 18:32, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
