The Latin root “decimāre” means “to take or offer a tenth part” while “decimus” means “tenth”

The decimal system seems a pretty logical name for it.

If you accept that you’re destined to make mistakes (because you are), and aren’t reticent to correct them (humility helps), you’ll model humanity.

“The proof is in the pudding”
Fun fact:
This phrase originated in 16th century England.
At that time “pudding” actually referred to sausage.
