ture

English sense. Looks like a protologism to me. SemperBlotto (talk) 17:06, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

This is impossible to search for properly due to millions of hyphenation artifacts, scannos for cure, and the existence of Ture as a name. Even so, the only usage I could find was Donald Knuth's proposing of it as a word. There are a few other instances where people try to come up with a hypothetical word that Turing could be the present participle for, but the definitions don't match this one. I find it telling that the usex is taken verbatim from Knuth, and that the Wikipedia link is to an article about the w:Alan Turing Year, which has nothing to do with the term itself. All the circumstantial evidence points to an attempt to promote a protologism that the contributor would like to see adopted rather than documentation of a real word in actual use.

Yes, those were my findings as well. Removed. SemperBlotto (talk) 08:34, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
