seriously.
i’m a fan of reading several books at once (and it’s hard work catching up with the interwebs AND reading AND knitting AND overdosing on entire seasons of television shows i can’t be bothered to watch in real time) (which is code for, i have spare time now, and i’m slowly returning to a decent schedule and social life), and it appears several authors can’t use a dictionary. or their common sense gland.
the word, people, is decimated. as in, decimation. now, think about that for a moment. deci- prefix meaning ten. as in, reduce by ten percent. proper usage- “dude, working out daily has decimated my ass.” so, why would you use ‘decimation’ to suggest total destruction? how about ‘obliterated’ or ‘destroyed’ or ‘leveled’?
how about ‘completely buggered’? these are all good choices.
just sayin’, is all.
thanks for peeping in.
BEENE loves and misses you. she says “ava come to seattle anytime” she loves that you knit killer socks (she wants a scarf, well not really harper does). she actually shit in the house the day she realized you and your loving lap were gone. Heh. It was fuckingfantastic meeting you! Peace
