Difference between audients and audience

Hi,

'Audients' is not a word.

Hi Clive,

could u pl refer the following link : http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/audient
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/audients

Hi,

I don't know who wrote that definition. I note that the noun form is indicated to be obsolete.

All I can say is that I've never encountered that word in any form.

Good luck if you try using it in conversation.

Clive

So it is a word, just not one in common usage ;¬)

Do you understand what "obsolete" means?
It is no longer a word that is used. Not commonly. Not uncommonly. No one uses this word.

I really don't have anything to add to my previous post.

How does no one using the word stop it being a word?

I have an obsolete computer. It is still a computer.

If no-one uses it any more, and hardly anyone knows of it, it is no longer part of the language.
A thousand years ago you could have approached someone in England and said Hu hatst þu? He or she would have understood that you were asking them what their name was. Nowadays that wouldn't work—Hu hatst þu is obsolete.

AnonymousCould any one help to differentiate between 'audients' and 'audience'?

Check the spelling.

The sound won't help. That's the same either way.
