1086.0. "Disamenities?" by SWETSC::WESTERBACK (Mai pen rai!) Wed Feb 09 1994 02:21

    I came upon the word "disamenities" in a text the other day.
    I can guess that it's intended to mean the opposite of
    amenities, but it's not in my W9NCD, and not in MS Word's 
    dictionary. Is it a real word or just an invention by the author?

	Looks to me like a typical Newspeak neologism.
