The word isn't found in most dictionaries, and seems to be a pretty new addition to the language. I'm going to say that it's a common error that has crept into usage, rather than being a full word yet. The web-sites that list it don't give sources, roots, or even a decent definition.
There's no question about its meaning, but I'd still say it's a mistake.
I'll stop being a pedant now, but I'm funny about these things. I'm looking forward to playing the map.

Did you draw the mountains yourself?

I'll be very curious to see what sort of consensus emerges as far as strategy...
Well done, cairns. This is definitely one of the best new maps.

And yes this does bug me enough that I refuse to play the map until you fix that.
