Well, a heavy loss would be pretty devastating. The survivors probably lost friends, not to mention the sheer horror of so many dead around them...

da

decimate makes me think of heavy physical loss but devastate is great emotional hurt

so "the army was decimated" means a lot of the army was destroyed and
"the army was devastated" means the army's crying from butthurt

anyway, passing-by icon love!

Except decimate isn't heavy physical loss! :/ It's one-tenth! -whiiiinge-

Thanks for the icon love, though. :3

first anon

That's exactly correct, and exactly my problem. The incorrect use of 'decimate' is so ingrained into my vocabulary that when that's what I mean, using anything else just *looks wrong*, to the point where I just write around the situation entirely.

I support you in your fight, though; maybe you'll reach someone else *before* they develop this mental tic.
