Hooray! Someone who knows the standard meaning of the word decimation!

Appears you don't. The Romans killed one in 10. That is 10%. 20% staff reduction would be a vigintimate?

Obviously he was referring to the 10% spending cuts. I don’t care what the actual personnel numbers are, what matters is reducing absolute spending numbers.

The FIRST post about DECIMATION was OBVIOUSLY referring to the 10% spending cut.

That makes it CORRECT, and posts that responded to it correct, except for YOURS.

Did you have too much coffee this morning ?

You would do well to assume the most charitable interpretation when possible. Of course I was referring to the budget, not the head count.
