Did he use the word "recreator" as in "one who participates in recreational activities"?
Is that commonly used in the US? It sounded very peculiar to me - almost like one of the famous George W. Bush neologisms.
- dehrmann 6y agoCommonly? Not sure, but it's a loanword from Latin, so it's not a neologism, or anything.
- andrewflnr 6y agoGrowing up in the US, I never heard it used that way. It could conceivably be engineer jargon.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> Is that commonly used in the US? It's commonly-enough used that it appears in most dictionaries of American English I can find easily, but rarely enough used that I've barely ever seen it in use and never heard it in conversation.
