      Discluded is an uncommonly used word, but it is a word. Could indicate the OP in image is from a UK-English country and an academic - they like the top shelf rare words.

      Disclude is a verb that means to exclude or omit something.

        Only tangentially related:

        Bonus vs Malus.

        In the context of like uh, a stat boost vs a stat detriment.

        I don’t even care if that is a valid, currently recognized definition of malus… it makes sense, and its simple and easy to say.

        Also I’m American and regularly use ‘disclude’.

        But also, I’m kinda weird.

          I appreciate the weirdness you bring to the world, and the knowledge of ‘malus’ which is new to me.

            Let me put it this way:

            I’ve put a significant amount of thought into trying to figure out why I have the opinions and stances on certain parts of linguistics that I do.

            … I ultimately failed at coming up with a model of this that was both wholly coherent and comprehendable to myself.

            So at this point I’m just going with ‘i am strange in a way that kind of makes sense to me, kind of doesn’t, and i guess that is what you call a personality, or something like that.’
