- Move to Wiktionary. Pwqn 07:18, 2005 Mar 14 (according to history Uncle G 13:02, 2005 Mar 14 (UTC))
- Delete - Cromulent, the "right" spelling of this fictional word, already exists. No real need for this odd misspelling. Fuzheado | Talk 09:27, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Cromulent is a redirect as I indicated above. RickK 09:53, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
- That doesn't negate xyr point, though. What negates xyr point is to note that there's little evidence that "cromulent" is the correct spelling and "kromulent" is not, given that the word is only said and not written and especially given the various other "K" for "C" substitutions that occur in the programme.

- No, but fandom (and consistency with other English words) would imply a "C" spelling. For comparison, Cromulent gets 38800 googles, while Kromulent gets 23. Radiant! 15:16, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
