Um actually π€ decimating it would be 47 million links π€ not 227 million
Um actually a word's etymology does not define its modern usage. π€
It does if people use it correctly
Found the language prescriptivist! Linguists, letβs all point and laugh at them!
Hah hah! Oh wait...
Youβve fallen victim to one of the classic blunders
You do realize that there are multiple definitions for the word "decimate", yes?
proscriptivists btfo lmao
Good goob, booby froob.
Except when that word still has a literal meaning which is used by people to represent the original idea.
Your first paragraph illustrates the point you were making very well. The last paragraph was absolutely not necessary.
Calm down
Um ackshually, decimating only means removing 1/10th, so what happened is actually many times worse than a decimation.
