Useless Knowledge on a Saturday Night

I disagree with the term and suggest we change it. My guess is that the letho- part is a reference to the Lethe Riiver of forgetfulness from Greek mythology, but it seems to associate much more easily in an English-speaking mind with the Latin root lethum as in lethal, so it sounds to me like the term means "a word that can kill you", don't you agree? Also, logico- is in modern English too closely associated with logic, the ability to reason, so I suggest we use the Greek lexicos (of or relating to words). In closing, I suggest we change this term and fuse the Greek word "amnesia" with "lexico-" so that the term sounds like it means what it means, if you know what I mean. So, we should create the word "Lexicomnesia"-- yes, that I could guess means that situation where you can't remember a word, like it's on the tip of your tongue but you are experiencing a frustrating bout of lexicomnesia...

-- And hey, don't think it can't be done, guys like me create the dictionaries people use, we control the language and meanings that then are recorded into our dictionaries, so if you and I start using "lexicomnesia", which spreads to people generally knowing the term, you'll see that the next edition of Webster's will have the entry thus: lethologica -- SEE lexicomnesia. Give it another few decades, and the entry "lethologica" will rightly be wiped from linguistic existence, smartly replaced by the more deserving lexicomnesia.

I just don't know what to say ;)
