New word: Emotionale

Not sure if this one already exists, but it emerged in discussion recently:

Emotionale - which I defined as an equivalent to rationale.

Theory being thus:

If having a rationale is a product of approaching something rationally, is the product of approaching something emotionally. Emotionale just seemed to fit.

I suppose one would use it in situations when you just 'feel' something, and can't quite pin it down or explain it.

Thoughts?

Words ... and office trivia

Pleonastic - I can use that one every day!
Neoteric is also a good word.

I've just received one of best Out of Office messages I've seen in a while

"I am in the office, but likely to remain very elusive for the next few weeks....."

That made me smile.
