How can you use “nonwords” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Experience (and a moment's thought) shows that names of people and places occur with equal, sometimes greater frequency in the language than a very large percentage of the words listed in dictionaries of almost any size (except the smallest), and on that ground they should not be treated as nonwords or as being outside the pale of lexicon.

  • In any event, I have found that spelling checkers do find typographical errors that result in nonwords (like fulkly for fully ), which result from fast hunt-and-peck typing.
