Talk:cycoplasmic

RFV discussion: November–December 2018
Looks like a misspelling of to me. SemperBlotto (talk) 16:49, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I found three cites on Google books, but they look like typos to me. (e.g. one instance of cycoplasmic and many for cytoplasmic in the same work) Kiwima (talk) 18:47, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * In view of the definition it is completely obvious that this is a typo and should be deleted. --Lambiam 18:51, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I did not read the entry carefully. As defined, it purportedly means non-cytoplasmic. If the term is real, it would seem to be wordplay. The Greek root κυκ- means something like “mix”, so the meaning is not readily explained in a traditional etymological way; also, it is unnecessarily confusing since (again, if real) the term is easily thought to be a typo for its antonym cytoplasmic. --Lambiam 19:12, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The cites don't support that definition. It looks like just got misled by the typo. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:20, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Indeed, in the first few scholarly contexts where I found the word, it turned out to be a typo for cytoplasmic. A strikingly obvious example is on this page. --Lambiam 19:24, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. I was taken astray indeed by such works. I appreciate it. I'll correct the instance I came here from, and you can feel free to delete/remove/mark as a common error or whatever else you usually do with such a thing. Please do mention me again should you need me. Thanks kindly~ Cheers! Elfabet (talk) 22:02, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Mode into a misspelling entry. SemperBlotto (talk) 05:52, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Unstriking. It's exceedingly rare; I say we just delete it. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 06:00, 29 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Very rare error. We should delete it. Equinox ◑ 06:54, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
