I never realised that "decedent" in english is written with an "e" instead of an "a" where it should be, because it is derived from the latin word "cadere".
In flemmish we write "decadent", probably because we are closer to the french and in french it is also "decadent".
Thanks for pointing that out ... gotta learn something every day
