divinity76 commented 1 year ago

sure "overlubrication" and "overlubricate" are words, but is "overlubricatio" really a word?

gallium-gonzollium commented 1 year ago

Technically it is a word, but eh. Sounds like a ratio for overlubrication .-.

Technically it is a word

what does it mean? where have you heard this word? it's not in the Oxford dictionary, it's not in Urban dictionary, it's not in https://en.wiktionary.org , and i've never heard of it before

that's definitive, OVERLUBRICATIO is not a word, it's a spelling error. Signed Word Ways
