emphaticalism

Any takers for this one? Caps? Plural? SemperBlotto 19:52, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

There are actually three Google Book hits for this, whether all three refer to the same meanings, that's for us collectively to decide. Or find more citations, of course. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:17, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

As submitter of my first entry I'm not sure if this is the correct page to solicit a re-analysis of the term. Emphaticalism was coined in the 1957 MGM film Funny Face which starred Audrey Hepburn & Fred Astaire. Since it is a unique school of "Philosophy" is does not warrant pluralization. Multiple books include references to Emphaticalism including Musicals; Hollywood & Beyond published by Intellect Ltd. published in January 2000 ISBN-10: 1841500038 and

Imagining Europe: Europe and European Civilisation as seen from its Margins and by the Rest of the World, in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries by Michael J. Wintle (ed.) Brussels, 2008 →ISBN published by P.I.E. Peter Lang S.A.Further evidencing the terms persistence is www.americancinematheque.com/archive1999/2005/Aero/parisamerican.htm was posted Nov,2005. The term was trademarked for the sake of disambiguating 'emphaticalism' from 'empathicalism' which Google automatically suggests "empathicalism" (note the spelling.)

I have just moved this from its original upper-case form to lower-cased emphaticalism, as Google Books results give no evidence of the upper case (and neither, mostly, does Usenet). Will now add some citations. Equinox ◑ 23:38, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

I've RFV-failed it in that case. - -sche (discuss) 04:03, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
