Heard the following once or twice regarding areas of softwood which had been clear felled.

 

"They've absolutely decimated the place"

 

Well that would be one tree in ten removed then wouldn't it. Argh

 

Only in a Roman historical sense. For the last few hundred years its meaning is what most people use it as.

That's a favourite of mine, if it was 1 in 10 it would be "they've absolutely decimalised the place " I often drop a wrong word in for comic effect to wind my mate up like " the pheasants are revolting" or something similar.

"If I could interject interfrastically"

The episode where they inadvertently destroyed Mr. Johnstons dictionary and were attempting to re-write it.

Oh deep joy!

At the end of the day many words move away from etymological roots. That's the way languages evolve. Just sayin' like:001_smile:
