There's no dispute. "Obstinant" is not a word in English. — This unsigned comment was added by 24.34.200.147 (talk).

The dispute is over whether words that people use regularly- and that everyone understands just fine- are part of the English language, even though they're considered wrong by dictionaries and English teachers. "Obstinant" is indeed a word in English, but not one you should use if you want any respect for your English skills, since obstinate has always been considered the only correct form.

The only mention I see of "disputed" in the entry is the category listed at the bottom. That just means it's grouped with other words having the same thing in common. If you click on the category link, you'll see all the other terms tagged as belonging to the same category. Chuck Entz (talk) 06:47, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
