Re: Administrate
Is this a word?
One of the wonderful things about the English language is that almost anything can be a word. We can form nonce-words from the kits of parts that make up the established words of the language, and we can do so with fair expectation that our meaning will be clear.
We have the word "administrator" (presumably because the alternative, "administerer", seems faintly clumsy) and the word "administration" (which does not have the same meaning as the gerund "administering") and it seems obvious (if misguided) to form a verb "administrate" from them (even though "administer" might be preferable). It's ugly, yes, but even I find myself unable to rail against it given its ubiquity.
So, yes, it's a word. Get used to it.
