Anyone still into #decimate ‘ing images? Was a fun app - glad it’s continued to evolve.
@GertyBz FYI - Hitler was so inspired by how #Canada the #corporation (it's actually a corporation registered & all, look that up!) handled 'pesky Indians' & many parts of #Canadian #cultural #genocide on #Indigenous #FirstNations peoples here - he used many of the most #cruel #colonizers #tactics to gain control. Then used control to #decimate & commit genocide on many ppl. #Jews & a ton more who weren't Jews but seen as #outcasts - ppl need to not repeat #history ! They killed more than Jews!
I remember the first time I heard the word decimate used to mean “lots of a population killed/destroyed.” A newscaster in the 1990s was saying a salmon population had been decimated. I thought, oh shit. 10% gone. That’s bad. Then I found out he’d meant almost all of them had been killed, and I was extra confused. Until then, I’d only known it as the egregious Roman military punishment where a squad of ten soldiers had to kill one of their own. #syntax #LoadedWords #decimate #Latin #WordOrigin

Suka sama caranya Mas Tom menerangkan suatu kata yg memakai ilustrasi sejarah etimologi kata tersebut. Belum lagi logat British-nya nggak nahanin :)
