      People don’t say “that’s not a word” unless they understand. If they don’t understand they say “What?”. The point was that linguistics is the study of how language is used to communicate. “Cristofascist” is going to get added to a dictionary, but “nkkjqqz” isn’t, even though they’re both made up; one conveys meaning, the other doesn’t.
