R to @BruceDGilley: Once you know, and can hear, the original meaning of "decimate" (and yes, 1 in 10 was a light punishment in that era), the modern meaning (thanks for the "www" grab below, which makes my point eloquently) will always grate.

Most annoying misuse of words by educated people:

decimate: to kill one in ten (i.e. a light and symbolic punishment)

fulsome: insincere or distasteful (i.e. not nice)

Ten year anniversary of Dr. Plantinga's Where the Conflict Really Lies and so many studies now affirming that religious views of the universe are more scientific than implausible naturalistic ones.

I get letters all the time from people in former colonies disgusted by Woke whites trying to shut me up on the question of colonialism. Today's mail below.
