strikethrough
strikethrough ?? Surely this is the phrasal verb strike through. Algrif 11:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Surely this is a matter for Requests for verification? The noun certainly exists; the verb seems to be on the fringe of existence, and should probably be included but marked non-standard. (It definitely meets CFI, but if we consider it a misspelling of "strike through", it's not common enough to include.) It's probably analogous to the verb login, which can only be written as one word in its plain form. (Note that "please login" gets about twice the Google hits that "please log in" does.) —RuakhTALK 15:53, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

OK I'll put the verb request there. Algrif 16:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Looks like it. I googled for struckthrough as a potential past form and got 105,000 hits.  All the listing I looked at were functioning as adjectives for the first few pages of returns. --EncycloPetey 16:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

RFV passed: cited quite a while ago, no objections since. —Ruakh TALK 23:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Strickenthrough?
I can't find any evidence for this form, as much as I'd like it to exist. Equinox ◑ 22:11, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
