I won't use it either. There are many who have published their articles in
journals and they have spelled it incorrectly. I have had doctors make fun
of this habit - to make up their own words by using "English language
logic". However, I have never, ever had one dispute me any longer on
whether or not it was a word once I asked them to please provide me with a
dictionary or something stating it was. It sort of reminds me of the
naris, nares, nare thing.
