May 31, 2007 - Classifiction

Classifiction for Classification is a case of a missing vowel that brings a chuckle, and images of the works of Twain, Hemingway, Steinbeck and Faulkner who all wrote classy fiction. Even though it is unlikely that this word would be legitimate in any database, we always recommend that you check each record individually. If nothing else, the word may be followed by a 'sic.' This is found on our D List at http://faculty.quinnipiac.edu/libraries/tballard/Sectiond.html, meaning that the word has a low probability of being found in an opac.
