OP Hi everyone,thanks for helping me in these few days!!!
Well..I remember that my English teacher pointed out a misteken from my composition: "Such bill wouldn't be greeted with applause as it's foreseeably devastating to the populace"
my teacher said devastating should be used to describe some physical or body detriment.In other words,this word is specifically for ones' body sufferings.However,i've ever seen this word written in the newspaper which was descirbing public affair like policies and etc
U guys are so kind !! Thanks for always eliminating my burden.I think i'm really a problematic bloke !
