One Smallen Step for Word Lovers Everywhere

I was roaring with delight at Roy Rivenburg’s Off-Kilter column on getting a made-up word in the dictionary (“A Little Wordplay for the Record,” Aug. 6), and I throw my full support, meaningless as it is, behind “redundundant.” I often make up words to shorten a sentence or “succinctify” it. I find “smallen” and “superfluocity” serve me well and would die a wildly happy woman should these words make it into a newspaper let alone a dictionary.
