[edit] Intereffectuality
I believe this is a hoax.
- Google Scholar does not know this word - see here.
- Google finds only this article.
- I can find no trace of the magazine Journal of Critical Aspect cited as a reference.
- The other three references are books and do exist. I have consulted one of them {Loiseaux and Fraistat): it contains absolutely no reference to "Intereffectuality".
- While getting it from the library I checked the indexes of every other book in the same catalogue section - about four shelf feet - and found no mention of the word.
In summary, I can find no evidence that this word has been used before. If not actually a hoax made up one day, it is a protologism unsupported by evidence. Delete. JohnCD (talk) 22:34, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, hoax. (I had a minor in textual criticism. The terminology of that discipline generally doesn't use small words to define big ones, the way this article does!) --Dhartung | Talk 22:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

- Actually, I thought the style was quite convincing; in fact, I wondered if it had been written by the Postmodernism Generator, but I don't think that goes as far as inventing new words, it just re-shuffles the old ones. JohnCD (talk) 23:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy delete as hoax per nom and per Dhartung, seems to have certainly been made up. The fake sources are enough for me to call this one a G3. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment The article's creator denies that it's a hoax. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
