When I was in middle school, it was a highlight of my year, when my bus slid into the ditch! No one got hurt and no visible damage so it was just a free day off when everyone else had to go in …… plus they let us walk home.
As an adult, I realize there was a series of questionable choices here. However I hope the bus driver didn’t get in much trouble: they should not have been on the road. It clearly should have been a snow day
Asking for Help is SOCIALIST! These people are COMMIES! REAL Trump Supporters would be FINE! TRUMP will PERSONALLY PAY THEM money so they can continue going! I’m a Republican and I think ALL THESE THINGS at the SAME TIME because I Think for Myself!
First, I am highly irate of the misuse of the word ‘decimate’ in the article. It means to destroy a tenth part of something, not totally obliterate it.
That’s the historical definition of the word, but colloquially it just means a large part.
It’s like how historically retro meant something new inspired by something or a style from the past, but now people are using it as a substitute for “classic” (in particular with respect to video games). I dislike that too, but I’m not the arbiter of language. Not yet anyway, but soon. Soon…
Shouldn't "to destroy a tenth part of something" be in quotes there? Unless you mean the article has the intention of destroying ten per cent of things.
This is wrong. Decimate can mean the killing or destruction of any large portion of something. E.g. one definition you might see is “To devastate: to reduce or destroy significantly but not completely.”
