Confuseable[edit]

This seems to be original research, a neologism, and hopelessly POV about the use of English to describe the computer industry. Best to delete it. AlexTiefling 15:09, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

delete neologistic rant --Doc Glasgow 15:52, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, vanity neologism, article content begins "Confuseable is a word that I created to fill a semantic void." No indication of widespread use to merit transwikification to Wiktionary. However, it's a good word in a non-lexical usage: I have often admitted to being confuseable in the early morning. Barno 19:10, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The best bit is where the author (writing in the first person, by the way) mis-spells xyr own protologism and accidentally uses the word confusable. The irony is that "confuseable" has been a mis-spelling of confusable for a long while before this author "invented" it. The word that the author is groping for is ambiguous. Adjective→noun Redirect to ambiguity. Uncle G 19:16, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
