You can quibble that maybe charities should say “may” or “could” instead of “will”. Fine.
We appreciate that you seem to acknowledge that saying “may” or “could” would be more accurate than saying “will”, but we don’t see this as just a minor wording issue.
The key concern is donors being misled. It is not acceptable to use stronger wording to make impact sound certain when it isn’t.
If charities only spoke the way some people on the forum wish they would, they would get a fraction of the attention, a fraction of the donations, and be able to have a fraction of the impact.
Perhaps the donations would instead go to charities that make true claims.
