Hi. I think you misunderstand hypercorrect:. If using the "improper" language suffix was unacceptable, then a word like television: that combines Greek and Latin would be "hypercorrect". superfluousness can easily be attested very far back (1852: "The utility or superfluousness of a medicine is not a thing to be decreed by any medical faculty"), so it isn't some modern error.

 * The word television is the universally accepted term, even if it has iffy origins. With superfluousness and superfluity we have two competing words with identical definitions.  One of them must be wrong.
 * "One of them must be wrong" does not follow. Two words can mean the same thing and be equally acceptable. Wiktionary is a descriptive dictionary (documenting how the language is used), not a prescriptive one (forcing opinions on people that would be ignored anyway). I moved your opinion to a usage note.

Dude, this was not a good compromise. --Arctic.gnome 05:25, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
