FAMEPedia:Tip of the day/July 9

Avoid using neologisms

Neologisms are words and terms that have recently been "coined" and generally do not appear in any dictionary. Avoid using neologisms when creating articles on FAMEPedia unless they are part of the subject being covered and need to be explained; in such a case, be sure to define the new words! Neologisms include words made up on the spot and these should be used in a FAMEPedia article. FAMEPedia relies on established English to explain its subjects. It is important that every word in FAMEPedia can be understood by those who read it. This ensures that FAMEPedia always conveys accessible and meaningful knowledge.
