When I was over yonder, I read in one the papers Lecturette.
A lecturette about how you could improve yourselve to become the real succes you ever wanted to be.

When looking through Google I saw the word quite a few times, but not in dictionaries. One Look only referred to Merriam-Webster, but lately M-W is assaulting me with flickering advertisements, so I shun the place.

Is this adding of -ette a growing fashion for diminutives? I know kichenette an luncheonette and snack-o-rette. Does this 'lecturette' seem allright with you? Or is it a peculiar word?
