That title makes this sound more serious than it is. Someone mentioned to me today that there was not really any need for my newly coined word, backlimate, because there was already another word that meant the same thing.
Now first of all, English is full of extraneous words, like, how about extraneous? Why do we need that word? So what's the problem with another word?
The other thing is re-acclimate is not really a word- it's acclimate with a hyphened re stuck on the front. That's because you can't put re right in front of a vowel, because if you did that here you'd get reacclimate, which clearly should be pronounced "Reeklimate," which isn't suitable for polite company.
