Unliterate


     I just noticed this.  The headline that graces the picture of the triumphant Jermain Taylor in today’s Sports page reads “Undisputable.”
     Is that even a word?  After Jermain won the fight, the ring announcer described him as “still the undisputed middleweight champion of the world.”  This would make his status as champ either indisputable or undisputed.
     “Undisputable” is not in my dictionary.
     
     That just kind of jumped out at me as I glanced at the paper a minute ago.

They would have been better off going w/"Still the Champ!" or something. Usually an intern or something does the headlines. This one looks like it was ordered up the sports "editor" himself.
