Re: Car port conversion...
Apparently Lawl is so ignorant he doesn't know the meaning of words changes over time.
Or maybe he's just dreaming of living in Ancient Rome. A lot of hunky dudes banging each other and young boys back then...

Goof never looks good. Ever.
Re: Car port conversion...
EtEARS has proven that "Decimate" doesn't mean to reduce by a tenth, by providing a definition that says it means to reduce by a tenth.

I provided a definition that says geoff's usage is correct, and number 1? You some kind of moron?

Well here's a definition that says I'm correct, and the usage you're arguing is number 3. So I'm happy to go by your logic then, and I'm correct. I always win.

Re: Car port conversion...
actually, as your quote from merriam-webster clearly indicates, the etymologically strict use of 'decimate' (i.e. to reduce by 10%) isn't the only sense of this verb; what's more, the looser sense of 'reduce drastically/great destruction' etc is the more usual usage these daysLawL wrote:http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/decimate
