Talk:deinstall

"Deinstall" is slang and does not appear in standard dictionaries. The appropriate word to use in these instances is "uninstall." Also, point of accuracy for tags applied to this "word": the "i before e" rule is only applied to words with combined or blended vowel occurrences, so "deinstall" is neither example nor exception to the rule. The i/e rule has no relevance where "i" is the first letter of a root and happens to be prefixed with "de-", "re-", etc., because the vowels are sounded independently of each other, e.g. the word "rein" is a valid example of an exception of the rule, but "reinsurance" is not. 198.203.175.175 17:36, 9 July 2019 (UTC)endstate
