"draconian," meaning marked by extreme severity or cruelty, especially about laws or governments.


Don't be such a pedantic prat. The Oxford English dictionary defines 'draconian' as: adj. (of laws) harsh, severe.

As a graduate in the subject I'm quite capable of picking the appropriate word without being lectured by a half-wit.
