Talk:-o-matic

-o-

Isn't -o- used here? Backinstadiums (talk) 09:57, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

if we can find forms with just -matic, which I'd expect, we could say that the longer form is parseable as -o- + -matic. Another reason to think of it this way is that I think people pronounce the /o/ as a full vowel whereas we generally dont in automatic. —Soap— 04:48, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

The word hydromatic occurs in a song and seems to be a rare word used to describe something powered by water motion. I'd say that is a separate use from this page because it's an adjective and does not require a verb. —Soap— 06:12, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
