from Mkirkpatrick:
Quote:
Why not combine the two,I have even coined a new word to do just that(scispirtion)we could then unite the combined knowledge,and the the united sum would be greater than the (whole).
The art of coining new words is called neologism.

Now, in the case of our own mkirkpatrick coining new words, I don't really know how to take this, because his spelling record is so atrocious that I am not certain that he has spelt his own word correctly so I can't begin to analyse its origins.

From Wikepedia:
Quote:
In theology, a neologism is a relatively new doctrine (for example, rationalism). In this sense, a neologist is an innovator in the area of a doctrine or belief system, and is often considered heretical or subversive by the mainstream church.
Speaking of combining, isn't this just weird? See how everything that goes around comes around? Not only that, but rationalism for example! Just uncanny how things that come around sometimes dive headfirst into their own murky netherness(!).
