New word Relatedly? #1 (permalink) Wed Oct 04, 2006 10:44 am   New word Relatedly?
 

Hi

Relatedly, certain questions will arise….
(taken from a technical :) book)

Does that relatedly actually exist? (and in usage)

Dictionaries are very careful and rather vague about it. And make me even more doubtful :)

MS Word (hi, Amy :)) refuses it and busily offers two variants of substitution:
Elatedly :shock:
Belatedly :shock:
:)

Mr. Goodle supposes repeatedly :)

Hi Tamara

Technically speaking, relatedly is a valid word.
But I'd say your example is pretty unusual. :lol:

Techies... ;)

But, your sentence must have come from some very extra special techies seeing as even the Microsoft people apparently don't use it (i.e., didn't include it in MS Word). :lol:

Hi Tamara,

New word perhaps? As an alternative to related to that? Kind of like it, though. Perhaps we should air it on the forums.
