Logic problem[edit]
The criterion is that "all its letters [must] have "alphabetic neighbors". Those that have some, but not all, letters with alphabetic neighbors, obviously fail this criterion, and are nonvicinals. But we give examples of words that are "neither vicinals nor nonvicinals", because they fall into this latter camp. We can't have it both ways. Either it meets the criterion, or it doesn't. Or, maybe the definition needs to be re-thought. But that would be getting into OR, wouldn't it. -- JackofOz (talk) 23:40, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Changing "nonvicinal" to "anti-vicinal" in the page could solve this. Nonvicinal should just mean not vicinal. A word can be nonvicinal without being anti-vicinal. Anti-vicinals would have none of their letters have alphabetical neighbors, whereas nonvicinals would just not have all of their letters have alphabetical neighbors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.143.229.77 (talk) 22:40, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
