Talk:sabermatics

RFD discussion: July 2019–April 2020
"Misspelling" of sabermetrics. Except it isn't even the same word and would be pronounced nothing like. Can we do anything to stop this rising tide of nutso SB misspellings? Equinox ◑ 20:00, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
 * 400 Google hits and even two pages of Google book hits. So what's the problem? SemperBlotto (talk) 20:11, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
 * If I enclose it in quotes, I get 141 Google hits and 13 Google Books hits. "Sabermatics" in quotes gets 406 Google hits (it starts by saying 800,000, but paging through ends with a 5th page that says 406). "Sabermetrics" in quotes gets gets 370 Google Books hits. There are exactly 2 Books hits where the term can be seen in a snippet or a page view (page view, snippet. There's also one for "sabermatic". There are actually better Books results for "sabermetics", with 61 hits and 5 viewable. "Sabremetrics", "SABRmetrics" and "sabermatrics" do pretty well, too. While one could probably find a third valid cite in the non-book hits, it's debatable whether sabermatics is a common-enough misspelling to be worth the entry.

 * Delete per nom. Different 'suffix' and too different to really be a misspelling. And I haven't seen more than the two durable attestions mentioned by Chuck Entz. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  14:52, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
