That's because it's in the OED with cites from 1682 to 1966. I agree, however, that we might add a note that most people use the much more common "specificity". Is it my imagination, or can I detect a very subtle distinction in meaning? Dbfirs08:27, 8 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
... (later) Yes, probably my imagination! It's just that specificity has additional scientific and statistical senses. Dbfirs08:34, 8 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
There are more than 600 cites available from bgc. Why are we wasting time on this? Is there any evidence that this is an error, let alone specifically a misconstruction. My favorite citation:
Lua error in Module:quote at line 2971: Parameter 1 is required.
passed, thanks DCDuring. All senses of all words should be cited, WT:RFV just allows some words to skip to the front of the (unmanagably large) queue. Conrad.Irwin14:15, 8 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
