[Ads-l] micro-

[Dennis During]

Since it has been productive for quite a while, Wiktionary has a list,
probably incomplete, of some 1500 at
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:English_words_prefixed_with_micro-.
But I don't think it would be possible to extract recent ones (eg, 21st
century) conveniently.
