• Weak delete. ^{[Check Google hits]}. About 3,300 or so, most of which mirror this article but some do not. Here's WordSpy with one other source besides Moira Gunn.
  It's real, but it just isn't in wide use, and I think that's because the Internet is no longer such a new technology and its limitations are well known. I doubt it will elicit a glimmer of recognition in ten years, let alone one. Daniel Case 18:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
