Didn't want to hijack recycled's thread so I decided to start my own.
One of my bête noirs is made-up words. Shampoo and makeup seem to be the worst. "Hydroelantistical", "Dermopraxiselatin" and so on (I made them up myself, and you probably didn't even know it )
Anyhoo; what the heck, I thought, is 'Sequentronic'?
-tron is a suffix forming a noun. It indicates a vacuum tube, or an instrument for accelerating atomic or subatomic particles.
-ic is is a suffix forming an adjective. It means of, or relating to.
So -tronic means like an instrument for accelerating atomic particles.
I'll ask again: What does 'Sequentronic' mean? Or 'Parktronic', or 'Distronic', or 'Keytronic', or 'Dynamatronic'?
