Heteroclite

Is heteroclite really an alternative term for this phenomenon? I've never encountered it before seeing it in Adhocracy. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 13:06, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Right or Wrong

Social Media is making a lot of noise that Hybrid words are "wrong". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.202.248.76 (talk) 02:50, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Heterosexual

Because the Greek word ἕτερος is misspelled as έτερος (the apostrophe-like 'rough breathing' accent that represents the 'h' in 'hetero-' has been omitted), the link takes us to a page that Wikipedia says does not yet exist. But there is a perfectly good Wiktionary article on the correctly spelled ἕτερος. The same problem does not occur with 'Homosexual', where the 'rough breathing' in the Greek word ὁμός has not been omitted, so the link takes us to the correct Wiktionary page. Since I don't know how to create new links and don't want to do any damage, I mention it here in the hope that someone with the right technical knowledge can make the necessary changes. I've copied the correct spelling of ἕτερος straight to this comment from the Wiktionary page, so I hope it can be used here.213.127.210.95 (talk) 14:57, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
