We need to coin a new word. Decimate is in need of an upgrade. Centimate where 100% of the baddies get removed, 1 in 10 is not acceptable...
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
decimate ˈdɛsɪmeɪt verb kill, destroy, or remove a large proportion of. drastically reduce the strength or effectiveness of (something). kill one in every ten of (a group of people, originally a mutinous Roman legion) as a punishment for the whole group. historical
Decimate = 10% Much prefer Devestate;anhilate, complete destruction
Better to spell those words correctly if you plan to use them.
sorry karen
I think that actually means 1/100th of them get removed.
We can't have that! Probably 1 million treasonous or child rapers in USA alone.
Correct. I suggest "eradicate", meaning one in one.
