[edit] Omnicrotient
Delete Neologism, likely made up in school one day, no Google hits. Brendan 00:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Tom Harrison Talk 01:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, cromulent protologism though it is. By the way, is it pronounced omniCROtient, accent on the third syllable, rhyming with "quotient," or omNICroscient, accent on the second syllable, rhyming (crudely) with "omnipotent?" Dpbsmith (talk) 01:29, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
- I always thought omnipotent was pronunciated omniPOtent. Is this a geographical variation? JoaoRicardotalk 01:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
- Which side of the pond are you on? The American Heritage dictionary entry shows only one pronunciation, with accent on "NIP." They have an audio snippet, too. And, no, they don't have "omnicroscient." Dpbsmith (talk) 02:21, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, I'm on neither side of that pound. ;-) I had checked the American Heritage pronunciation, but I was mistaken in reading it. I've noticed now that they place the accent sign to the right of the stressed syllable, while the custom (in the International Phonetic Alphabet for instance) is to place it to the left. Funny thing. Thanks for the information! JoaoRicardotalk 02:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

- Delete per nom (I always pronounced it omniPOtent but, upon looking it up, it is omNIpotent - then again, I used to pronounce plethora as pleTHORa, even though I now know it's PLEthora) --M@thwiz2020 02:30, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
