Is "rewirings" a word?

Solution 1:

I’m thinking that you haven't asked quite the right question here, but I’m trying to figure out a better way to ask it. The bottom line is that of course it's a word, and to my mind also the right word to use here.

As for something or someone telling you it wasn’t, I have to ask:

  • Did an actual human being tell you it’s not a word, and was this person a lexicographer or linguist?

Unless the answer to both those questions is yes, then you have no reason to believe them.

You’re simply applying basic rules of morphology and derivation here, and any human being who knows the business would vet this application in an instant.

It’s just sub-clued programmers of little learning who don’t know how to write a reasonable computer algorithm writing prescriptively uninspired programs that screws people up. Don’t trust a computer to have had a professionally educated human behind its algorithm, and therefore do not trust it.
