Rob,

You bet "desalinization" would
become one [a word], but the
world has beaten you to it:

desalinization. (n.d.). The
American HeritageR New
Dictionary of Cultural Literacy,
Third Edition. Retrieved May 09,
2016 from Dictionary.com: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/desalinization

It's probably too late to stamp
it out...

A related faux pas: desalinization. No such word, but I bet it will become
one so as not to embarrass the media members who like to use it. ;-). --Rob

My other favorite word that gets used by non-geologists: metamorphosized .
(Do you Brits use that one, by chance?) I think it fits the rhythym better
in some songs and poems.

Cheers, Pete

It certainly got everyone thinking ;-)


If you would like? for the sake of keeping the peace and despite the fact us
Brits widely use orientated I will use oriented.

Just to let you know in advance I use some really bizarre words and if it's
in the English dictionary (UK version) I will use it!

I won't shun you for your choice of words so please don't shun me :-) we are
all different.

Best wishes from across the pond
