Discluded? I have another hypothesis.
I have a third hypothesis to add to the mix..
https://www.oed.com/dictionary/disclude_v (sorry, paywalled).
Okay, if a fucking dictionary is paywalled we have gone way beyond the red line for social recovery.
"Recovery?" Now that's an interesting thought!
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/disclude
Hell yeah Wiktionary. It's my favorite by far. Got all the classic words, and also all the ones you'd usually go to urban dictionary for. What is based? Bussin? Lean? Rizz? Skibidi? 23 Skidoo? Wiktionary's got you covered
This is the correct response.
I don't think the OED has ever been online for free. They took a different tack to Merriam-Webster and Cambridge, who figured that the ad money was lucrative.
Getting annoyed at paywalling is understandable, but we can't demand that companies make their stuff free just because we want it to be free.
Eh dictionaries started out paywalled
Those who use the verb discluded should probably be discluded.
Even autocorrect discludes this as a valid word.
It's perfectly cromulent
Those who don't embiggen this comment should be discluded from consideration.
But what if OP remains intragnisent?
From the context it is clear what you mean.
Ditch OED, befriend Wiktionary
disclude (third-person singular simple present discludes, present participle discluding, simple past and past participle discluded)
(transitive)
(now nonstandard)
Wiktionary is the best
Engagement bait?
