Sunday Rest: devastated. Word Not To Use Today.

 There is nothing at all wrong with the word devastated, but what word are you going to use if something worse happens than your team losing a match?

Sunday Rest: devastated. This word comes from the Latin dēvāstare. Vāstare means to ravage, from vastus, which means waste, or empty.
