I agree. I probably would have let it slide if that had been the word used as opposed to one that doesn't exist.
Then again, creating new words is part of the evolutionary process of language, so I guess it's six to one, half dozen to the other.
And yeah, it's starting to look like we've lost the plot on this topic.
