Neologism[edit]

In English, we don't argue with usage. If hypersegregation is in common use, so be it. I argue this is a made-up term and not logical in its construction. Super, infra and hyper are superlatives. That hyper should mean by geographic area, makes no sense. A reader who doesn't read the definition doesn't know the term refers to geographic separation, not simply very very very segregated.

I would have thought all words are made up. Equinox 08:17, 6 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
