Crow Sister, as to your comment,

DEEkayed instead of DEHkayed.
Ten years ("it'll take a decade to decompose") is not the same as something rotten ("after ten years it finally decayed"),

I must demur. In my nearly eight DEH-kades of life (two more days!) in the US, I have never heard that ten-year period referred to as a DEEkayed. Don't blame it on us the US!
