discuss Just asking....."Equaty"

[ThatNameGuy]

Without research, does "equaty" appear to be an actual word? .....as in Equaty Bank or Equaty Software or maybe Equaty Brands.

Opinions welcome....thanks.

Equity - yes
Equaty- no

Auto spell corrects the latter to the former.

Thanks, but you cheated (just kidding). When I first saw it i felt it was a word i wasn't familiar with somewhere between Equity and Equality or Equal and Equitable?

The question I have is how words actually become words?

A better question might be "how does a word get into a dictionary", than how do words become words. Simply put: A word gets into a dictionary, when it is used by many people, who all agree that it means the same thing. That might answer your question as to why "equaty" means f*** all (nothing)
