Well they sold out too.
Anybody who was born in the times before it became acceptable to bastardize the English language, like in the last 20 years, can tell you that you'd get your fingers smacked in school with a steel ruler when you invented words, and the "un" words were the worst.
No way you would find that word in a 25 year old Oxford dictionary.
If they sold out too, then I've lost respect for them as well.
What would be the purpose to add a new word like unsatisfied, when we already had a perfectly good word, dissatisfied?

If you learn your English from American TV, press or even worse, George Bush, you will be speaking a different language that what we speak.

What makes you think talking about the word unsatisfied is off track. The word is one of the choices in the poll!!!!!

I normally do not defend Bush but in that article it was not him who mentioned the word unsatisfied but ABC news, who according to you should know better.

I would refer the honourable gentlemen to that which I said two pages ago..............

There are actually two separate words unsatisfied and dissatisfied but they have two different meanings The opposite of satisfied is dissatisfied whereas unsatisfied signifies an unmet need, like an itch waiting to be scratched, or a thirst waiting to be slaked or a sexual need waiting to be..........well, you get the point I'm sure.

All of this is most dissatisfactory..........
