Recently Gnus added the 'unexist' flag with some
code that deals with 'unexistent' articles. If I
understand the concept correctly, the usual
spelling in English is 'nonexistent'. Here's a
proposed patch to use that spelling.

Well, it's probably "non-existent" or "unexisting". However, I don't
really see much point in changing the spelling of a mark used internally
in Gnus stored-state files. And `unexist' has been in use for a couple
of years, so this would break people's Gnus files.

Sorry, I thought 'unexist' was a more recent edition. In that case,
how about if gnus-clean-old-newsrc automatically updates the old Gnus
files from 'unexist' to 'nonexistent'? The code already does that for
the old bad seplling 'unexists', so there's precedent for fixing
spelling in this area.
> it's probably "non-existent" or "unexisting".
Those are both English words, but "unexisting" is rare nowadays
(almost obsolete), and "unexist" itself is not English. The GNU Emacs
trunk uses "nonexistent" in about 240 places, "non-existent" in about
120 places (this is more the British style, but whatever), and
"unexisting" in zero places until the recent addition. There is some
advantage to sticking with the more-common usage.
Revised patch follows.

Yeah, but `unexists' didn't last that long. :-)
Anyway, I just don't see much of an upside to changing the what symbols
are used in internal data structures. Calling them `gazonk' instead of
`unexist' makes as much sense. So there's a downside (people flipping
back and forth between versions will have to resync stuff), and the
upside remains to be demonstrated.

Emacs source code should avoid misspellings even in
comments and in symbols used only internally. This is
because the misspellings can cause confusion among
developers, who are the main audience for the code.
I could mark "unexist" as a word that is allowed to be
in Emacs source code and documentation -- but then that word
is more likely to slip into places where it's not wanted.
> Calling them `gazonk' instead of `unexist' makes as much sense.
Actually, it'd make more sense to call them 'gazonk'.
When I look for spelling errors, my heuristics ignore
strings like 'gazonk' -- which are obviously intended
and are unlikely to cause confusion or inconsistencies --
and focus on strings like 'unexist' and 'inaccessable'
and 'chedule' because they look more like English words
and so are more likely to cause confusion.
I could change 'unexist' to 'gazonk', if you like.
That would be better to what we have now, for the
reasons mentioned above. Still, as long as we're
changing it, why not to the usual word?

Searching the web, however, suggests that, e.g., "make it unexist" is
quite commonly used, even where the context otherwise indicates that
people care about language usage.

I disagree for internal symbols, and because IMHO this is not a
misspelling. There is very specific meaning to "unexist" that I can't
think of a way to convey easily by any other simple verbs.

I don't think that's a huge risk.

I think Stefan meant "people who write American English".

From a logical POV, what Stefan wrote is not incorrect or
inconsistent: People who speak English tend to be resource conscious,
and as a consequence, they avoid wasting bits *transferring* these
"u"s (and presumably, writing them, which is implicit).
Also, thanks for nitpicking the joke, spoilsport.

OK, in that case I'll add it to the list of
properly-spelled words, and I'm marking the

You're right, it's much funnier that way.
