Ipodization / Ipodisation: Not a word but we know what it meansNovember 17th, 2006

I was reprimanded yesterday for using ‘ipodisation’ in an article I’d written about iPods continuing to dominate the world.

Apparently, according to the one who knows best, “It’s a horrible, fake word”

Granted, it’s not in the English dictionary, but I neither think it’s horrible nor fake. It encompasses a societal trend, and readers know what it means.

At least, they must do, because the Denver Post and Seattle Times, amongst others, have used it—and without quotation marks.
