Hi :) Most on-line dictionaries (in the top 10 according to a google search) agree that "A neologism is a newly coined term, word, or phrase, that may be in the process of entering common use, but has not yet been accepted into mainstream" but my fav is Mirriam-Webster's bucking the trend amusingly "a meaningless word coined by a psychotic."
Even though it is not apt it's still quietly amusing, to me at least, sorry Felmon bud! :) Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Felmon Davis <dav...@union.edu> >To: users@global.libreoffice.org >Sent: Monday, 15 April 2013, 21:59 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing PDF problem > > >On Mon, 15 Apr 2013, anne-ology wrote: > >> very interesting, yes indeed ;-) >> >> well, the more I read this list, 'the more I seem to learn, yet the >> stupider I feel' ;-) >> (the glorified typewriter has so surpassed me) >> >> I note you've used a 'new' word; acronymonious seems to fit well in >> this saga - >> yet I hope you didn't mis-type acrimonious ;-) >> (oh, surely not) > >I did not mistype.
