- Terr_ 3y agoIn this context (international sales of heavy machinery), I'd argue "quantative" is a mistake even if it were "legitimate but rare". That said, I think there's still a strong case it's an ancient-mistake in general. Not only is it missing from some spell-checkers, but it appears so extraordinarily rarely [0] compared to "quantitative" that it's hard to see it as a synonym rather than a typo.
