    Long.

    The Matt Helm spy books of the 1960s-1980s were far superior to the James Bond novels.

    In one of them, the bad guys have an imposter on the phone with Helm, impersonating Helm’s long time boss. Helm realizes the scam because the phony misuses ‘decimate.’ That’s how 4th grade me learned this.
