we were discussing words as unwanted and illegitimate.
I think the analogy stands, jheem? Many words that we use happily are amalgams, extensions - bastardisatons even! I am unhappy to try to apply any general rule to the English Language and prefer to look at each case as it arises, making my judgement as much on aesthetic as on logical or linguistic grounds.
