[Ads-l] "Strategery" Not in OED

[David Barnhart]

331 in Nexis (but I didn't cull out the duplicates).
2,510 in Google News (again duplicates not culled).

In the 1960's when I started professional dictionary work, 10 was a pretty
good hall for defining purposes.

Well, 210 actual hits.  Still a bunch, but not that huge a number.  = Those
=E2=80=9Cabout n results=E2=80=9D estimates at the top of each = page are
still consistently off by a factor of hundreds or thousands.
