Surprising words not accepted

[crazykate]

I find it more puzzling that "IRREMEDIABLENESS" is accepted while "REMEDIABLENESS" isn't, although both "remediable" and "irremediable" are fine. That happens sometimes with other prefixes as well. Sometimes the plural works when the singular doesn't, and there's no logical explanation.

Niner is not a word..................

How is "twoer" more of a word than "niner"?

[crazykate]

??? . . .is not an English word- -it's British??? Geez I thought they spoke English in Britain.

They invented it, actually. The dictionary might be based on American English... But a lot of the time, both British and American spelling is accepted.

Easings is not an English word--it's British............that said, a lot of foreign words are accepted here, some of which you wouldn't expect.........

[Phylactic]

EASING is accepted, but EASINGS isn't?

[JJBeanie]

Its use and definition are disputed in English, e.g. minimize vs. minimalize.

The difference in my mind is clear, though those words do appear in some dictionaries and not others.

Nage is not allowed? A nage is a flavored poaching liquid.

[TioPepe]

[JJBeanie]

I was so surprised to see that MINIMALIZE and MINIMALIZED weren't accepted. I checked SOWPODS and neither word is valid, yet they are valid words.

FALLENNESS is not a word? Tried it three times; not accepted.
