Move to Wiktionary?[edit]

The word "anatopism" doubtless qualifies for inclusion in Wiktionary. Given, however, that its twin, "anachronism," has an article of its own in Wikipedia, does it not stand to reason that so should "anatopism"? logologist|Talk 14:58, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Anachorism"[edit]

User:DeeJaye6 has introduced the following sentence into the lead:

"Anatopism is not to be confused with an 'anachorism', which is defined as (n.) - foreign to a certain locality; geographically impossible (Collins English Dictionary)."

The sentence is presumably meant to refer to "anachronism" but actually uses a nonexistent word, "anachorism".

The sentence is awkwardly written.

It is also superfluous, since it duplicates what was already in the lead.

The sentence should be deleted.

Nihil, please use your Internet connection to look up the word "anachorism," which is a word that is sometimes confused with an anatopism. The word DOES exist, and the sentence (as originally written) makes perfect sense as a result. DeeJaye6 (talk) 14:36, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
