@Edcolins: Actually, it makes more sense for me to just copy the discussion from my talk page here, as it would eventually get archived there. bd2412 T 16:18, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

@BD2412: I agree. Thanks. --Edcolins (talk) 18:47, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

I wonder whether the entry "bleading edge" meets WT:ATTEST. Could it be perhaps a typo in the book cited? Edcolins (talk) 21:07, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

@Edcolins: I think it's more a case of corporate buzz-speak. I've seen enough to think it comes from people thinking they are being clever. bd2412 T 21:22, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

@Edcolins: bleeding edge is a blend of leading edge and bleed. This spelling could just be a matter of taking the vowels from lead rather than bleed- an alternative spelling, not a blend of a blend. It's also pretty rare once you take the software company and its web address out of the results. Not rare enough to fail WT:CFI, but not nearly as common as bleeding edge.

@BD2412 @Chuck Entz: Many thanks, both. I would suggest at least adding {{tlb|en|rare}} to the entry. I thought it was a misspelling. This would be in line with the entry blead (#2), but I guess it is sometimes hard to distinguish misspellings from corporate buzz-speak. I also briefly searched on Google Scholar and couldn't find much there, either. Some hits returned by Google Scholar point to the wording "leading edge" preceded by "b" in a footnote (i.e., ^bleading edge). See for example bottom of p. 12 of this reference and Fig. 3 of this reference. --Edcolins (talk) 08:27, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

I've added {{tlb|en|rare}} to the entry "bleading edge" for now. --Edcolins (talk) 09:52, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
