How do you pronounce Solecismic?
Is it so-la-siz-mick or sole-siz-mick or so-lee-siz-mick?

I have been pronouncing it so-la-siz-mick and figured it may be wrong, but I don't know which one is the correct way to pronounce it.

I'm pretty sure this thread has been done before. Along with the one that goes: do you pronouce it "fof" or "eff-oh-eff?"
FYI, I'm in the "sole-uh-siz-mik" camp. |

The dictionary says the word doesn't exist. Adjective for solecism is solecistic.

I know I've told this story here before, but Solecismic came into being one night in 1994 or 1995.
I had just joined AOL (back when it was the only real option for home internet service) and I was just getting into their trivia contests. People always played under handles, so I needed to create one. Since I'm an old English major, and the theme of many of the games I played was literature, I wanted something obscure that English majors might "get." So I took the word Solecistic, which means making a mistake, or a grammatical mistake, and I made a pun out of it. Solecismic is an error about a word describing an error. Absolutely hilarious, right? Right? A year or so later, when I decided it might be fun to create games for a living, I needed a company name. The literature I read from the Small Business Association said that the best company names were from made-up words. That way, you're far less likely to engender confusion or lawsuit situations. So I took my AOL screen name. We've been talking about internet dating in other items here. I met my wife through the AOL Trivia channel. |

FYI, from Websters:
Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) Solecistic \Sol`e*cis"tic\, a. Solecistical. Ergo Solecismic = \Sol`e*cis"mic\ |
