| Dec 10, 2014 at 0:41 | comment | added | Rusty Tuba | If the moderators feel that my answer is contributing to the degradation of this site, then they may remove it. I don't feel it's out of line, and I don't think my answer is damaging the reputation of the site (a reputation which is compromised more greatly by other concerns, in my opinion), but I will submit to the crowd. I mean to the moderators. Two different things. | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 0:37 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | But look at nohat's philosophy, with which I agree: 'I really don't feel comfortable at all with our site becoming a place where people go who want a word invented. While I delight in exciting new words being invented and promulgated, I think we will rapidly lose our reputation as a place where people can get authoritative answers if many answers are not authoritative but just merely inventive.' (nohat) And OP phrases his question very acceptably, requesting a word. | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 0:27 | comment | added | Rusty Tuba | Note the qualification and caveats in my answer. It's moot. We're arguing on different terms. | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 0:24 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | But the OED, whilst not being a perfect implement, is surely better qualified than individuals to adjudicate on wordness (and OP asks for a word). | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 0:18 | comment | added | Rusty Tuba | But I will say that one driver of linguistic evolution (and part of the license of every writer) is creativity and innovation | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 0:16 | comment | added | Rusty Tuba | I ain't gonna haggle with that | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 0:11 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | Not all that appears in print etc justifies being called a word. We've looked at pseudowords and non-words before. | |

| Dec 9, 2014 at 23:52 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | Does one instance (or now, do two instances) of a letter-string make it a word? Most definitions demand a reasonable track record. | |
