[edit] Intintuator

Despite my researches, I can find no such object as an "Intintuator". There is the "intinuator" which appears to be a car part related to the alternator. Marketing technobable or hoax? — Coren (talk) 19:30, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Well, the car part isn't mentioned in the article, so delete as hoax. NASCAR Fan24(radio me!) 19:31, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment It's not automotive related, but rather audio related. Not that I am a know-all expert on this, but I've not heard of such as stage. When I search the term on google, it suggests intinuator which is automotive related. I'm wondering if the article name is misspelled? Yngvarr (t) (c) 20:08, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • adding to my comment The best I could find is attenuator, which does pretty much what the nominated article claims: adjusts power to compensate for harmonic distortion. /shrug, I'm pretty indifferent either way. Yngvarr (t) (c) 20:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. For all intensive purposes, this is a mondegreen and not a likely search term. --Dhartung | Talk 20:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
    Did you use "intensive purposes" (a mondegreen of "intents and purposes") on purpose?  :-) — Coren (talk) 21:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Careful or I'll throw an eggcorn at you. (Actually that's a better word for this.) --Dhartung | Talk 22:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
