claret seems to be the only term in the Category:Hyperforeign, but the hyperforeign tag seems to refer to one specific pronunciation and not the entry as a whole, so that entry should definitely be removed. So that leaves zero entries; what on earth would the category be used for? I have absolutely no idea. Mglovesfun 21:24, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
- Re: "the hyperforeign tag seems to refer to one specific pronunciation and not the entry as a whole, so that entry should definitely be removed": I understand that line of reasoning, but that's just not how we categorize. For example, if a word has both countable senses and uncountable ones, we'll tag the former
{{countable}}and the latter{{uncountable}}, such that the entry ends up both in Category:English countable nouns and in Category:English uncountable nouns. —RuakhTALK 21:38, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hyperforeign spellings or senses belong here, not pronunciations (at least by the status quo, but it may not be a bad idea to change this). The pronunciation in claret should probably be labelled with
{{qualifier|hyperforeign}}.

- Terms like no problemo would belong in this category. Not just because it's faux Spanish, but because Spanish-sounding -o is misapplied—the correct Spanish is problema. —Michael Z. 2009-05-31 21:56 z
Kept, now has two entries, although I still don't like this very much. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:24, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
