Happy new year to you too! I had never heard the term "decim" before downloading Solfege. But I'm not a music major, so that didn't surprise me. But my girlfriend, who was a music major, says she's never heard "decim" either, and that she's always called it a "tenth". I figure, even if "decim" is considered more correct in some obscure circles, you might as well call it a "tenth", since that's certainly in common use.
