In Response To: For the record... (Stinger)

: ..."decimated" means reduced in size by 1/10th
: (deci-). We often use it to mean more, but in this
: case the armies of the light were basically all but
: destroyed utterly, not just decimated.
: "Eradicated" would be more applicable. :)

: --Stinger

Blah, blah, blah! :)

And if you want to be REALLY pedantic, then this word came from the Roman punishment for treachery where one in ten men in a century (actually 80 men) would be killed. O was it a cohort? Or a Legion? Whatever, the meaning's changed through 2,000 years of time and language!

:)
