So Phillip and Ralph,
Is it wrong to use the term decimated coconut considering the ten per cent GST now applied? a number of young ones around me now ask this of you both.
Even Warmer greetings,
John

Thus, to make something become one-tenth of its former quantity or state, the word would be 'decify'. Regards Reid Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard |
