With the OED as final arbiter, and despite William Safire as peanut gallery, I won an argument a few weeks ago that the word "relatedly" does not exist in polite company. However, I was brought low this morning as I realized that "administrivia", a fantastically useful word with which I grew up, and which surely has a claim on life as strong as "administress" or "adminutive", does not exist either. It's not even in doubletongued. Time to pester some British lexicographers. 07:40AM «
