dischronic or diachronic?
Curious about how you are using the word 'dischronic' in your recent edit of the Larry Brown wikipedia article? Not sure of the meaning of dischronic (I like the sound of it, though. It should be a word that is operative!! I'd like to think that dischronic would "transmit" an active-use value, although currently it is not a word that appears too often around the web, near as I can determine). When I put the word into the Google search engine, the word has been used elsewhere, but infrequently. Is this an alternate spelling of diachronic? Christian Roess (talk) 22:47, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Haven't heard back from you so making change on the Larry Brown (author) page today. Changed to diachronic. Please change it back to dischronic if that's what you meant. Unfortunately, the link to the diachronic article on Wikipedia can be a bit confusing. Well, I'm going to document this on the Larry Brown discussion (talk) page too. Maybe you can make a comment there as to why you wrote dischronic. Frankly, that may work too, though it would be a neologism of some sort I believe.

Chris: The term "dischronic" here is being used to describe the manner in which Larry Brown's signature technique was to tell a story in a non-diachronic way. The timeline of his narratives is often jumbled, as if he'd written a linear plot, then shuffled the chapters. (talk) 01:25, 26 September
