What does "decadence" mean? Dictionary says "deteriorating/low standard" but isn't it supposed to be something positive from the context because he tries to explain why it's good to put brass plate on window frames?[Image]

Question

Answer

Decadence other meaning: luxurious self-indulgence.

I use it to describe rich, delicious foods.

Answer

In UK English, its "low quality." In US English, its "high quality/luxurious." You can tell this is UK English because of certain phrases that arent really used in US English: timber frame, "two mil" in particular.

Hope this helps!
