My impression from Google is that Pliny originally wrote 'judicaret'?Rinpoche (talk) 05:17, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See here (under [85]) for the original phrasing: ne supra crepidam sutor iudicaret. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 07:14, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find this word in any dictionary! Not even in the Oxford Dictionary! I'm absolutely positive that this is a real word, but the fact that I can't find it in any dictionary bothers me. Nahiyan Khan (talk) 15:45, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stop your whining, child. "Ultracrepidarian" appears in a reasonable number of dictionaries. A sensible assumption might be that the word is artificial, and is such an unpleasant thing to be that it hasn't gathered enough followers to have a doctrine, an -ism.
Yet.
Perhaps you'd like to start a cult devoted to the notion, Nahiyan. You seem to be qualified.

This is a sniglet. It should be a word, but there are no other sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.88.162.97 (talk) 12:39, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
