No. That you defending ArabTRUST, Naebs? Anyway - Yes. Extra-ordinary is much clearer to the average punter on messageboards who doesn't really know what they're talking about. Which is ArabTRUST's target audience - not folk like you who bluff a bit of knowledge.

Extraordinary means not ordinary. Extra-ordinary means very ordinary. They're opposites. Even those unfamiliar with the lingo should grasp why it's not ideal to characterise an emergency vote a mundane event.

Acht, I'm prepared to let you have this one Naebody, seeing as I'm in a jolly end-of-week mood. Whether you're right or not is completely immaterial. No, you're welcome. ETA: It's already caused the predicted confusion on East Football. Edited by whatsthatonyourback*, Aug 19 2011, 12:59 PM.

Extraordinary means not ordinary. Extra-ordinary means very ordinary. They're opposites. Even those unfamiliar with the lingo should grasp why it's not ideal to characterise an emergency vote a mundane event. How about 'Additional General Meeting'. Extraordinary's a stupid word, anyway. And why do flammable and inflammable exist? Now, vulnerable and invulnerable are opposites, but flammable and inflammable aren't.
