Talk:dispatch

I don't see how the etymology for this entry is "a mess". I found it most informative. Lyphatma (talk) 00:53, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Well, for one thing it's not quite accurate, and it gives a very confused perspective on a complicated etymology. I will work on it. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 01:05, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Missing meaning

It seems dispatch and dispatchable may also mean to control and respectively being controllable or something like that (I'm not a native English speaker!) as in this extract from IEA report [1]Projected Costs of Generating Electricity 2020:

"Nuclear thus remains the dispatchable low-carbon technology with the lowest expected costs in 2025." Sivullinen (talk) 19:52, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
