Hi every body,

Thank you very much for your emails.

I totally agree that for practical reasons we should shorten the as much as 
we can, as well as all the different variables (Palaeoology, 
Paleooology,Paleoölogy, and Paleooölogy) should appear in the dictionary...

By accident like evolution works, we are witnessing and contributing to the 
legal and official birth of a new scientific area.

Thank you very much, indeed!



Respectfully,

Xavier,

Just a thought, but it might be worth noting that for many years we  had 
"palaeo-oceanography" and its derivatives, until the streamlined  word 
paleoceanography (or palaeoceanography) gained acceptance.  For  the sake of 
brevity, could we likewise lose an "o" to give Paleoology  -- which would be 
pronounced "pale-oölogy"?

Martin
