Thank God we were spared in St. Lucia. Sad to see the destruction in some of our sister islands.

[@leolacasse6278]

they use the word decimate improperly. it comse from the word decimal. these news men should be fired for this inexcusable error.

[@SelfMadeBum]

Decimate also means to destroy a significant percentage of something.

[@frankmacleod2565]

the word decimate means "kill, destroy, or remove a large percentage or part of", Einstein

[@frankmacleod2565]

The word comes from Latin decem, meaning "ten." Decimate strayed from its "tenth" meaning and nowadays refers to the act of destroying or hurting something in great numbers. Are you just making things up?

[@frankmacleod2565]

The connection between decimate and the number ten harks back to a brutal practice of the army of ancient Rome. A unit that was guilty of a severe crime (such as mutiny) was punished by selecting and executing one-tenth of its soldiers, thereby scaring the remaining nine-tenths into obedience. Nothing in the etymology about the word decimal, but the two words have the same Latin root. They're like cousins.
