Talk:barbarious

From rfd discussion of related term, before this entry was created:

barbariousness
defined as "The state or quality of being barbarious." but that is a misspelling of barbarous.


 * gets 32 hits on b.g.c. If it were really strictly a misspelling, I'd say it didn't warrant a "common misspelling of" entry, but it's not quite; it's a misconstruction, perhaps combining barbaric: and barbarous:, and has a very distinct pronunciation. So, keep, but mark nonstandard. —Ruakh TALK 22:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
