text: Never noticed this issue before. Interesting find. However, from checking some online encyclopedias and also the Wiktionary entry you recommended, it seems to me that this is an example of language evolving and still influx. Both terms are still in use and both are acceptable. So it's not clear too me that changing it all to one way is actually "fixing" things. Rather it seems to me it's taking a side in which usage is preferred. By systematically changing all instances Wikipedia itself would be influencing the use of the English language itself and that's not something I think we should try to do. Maybe it's best not to do anything here? Jason Quinn (talk) 01:44, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  "predominately" -> predominantly 

message: The word "predominately" appears in many articles. It should be "predominantly". I would suggest an automated replacement process. 2A00:23C5:FE56:6C01:4C51:E1AB:79E4:29EF (talk) 18:57, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

message: Hi everyone. For several years I have been copy-editing articles using the tools provided here and re-visiting accidently many times over. I recently noticed that when editing a page, the red squiggly line beneath accidently no longer appears. I noticed this for a few weeks now and decided to look it up. It just so happens that actually it is true - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/accidently says that it is a proper word "and it is sometimes cited as an error" albeit less common.

replies: text: Related: a description of this language trend. I recommend fixing the non-standard "accidently", which my browser still proudly underlines in red. M-W is too permissive for my tastes, bordering on promiscuous. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:29, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
