Even if she meant decimate, that only means destroy 1 out of 10.

Most freepers will insist on the PC meaning of decimate which is to mostly destroy. I cringe when I see it used that way by people who should be trying to use the language correctly i.e. freepers insist on adopting whatever words and definitions the Newspeakers decree.

Right....Maybe she means devastate....I always think 1 of 10 when I see/hear decimate.

Wonder when decimate was first used for devastate.
