Who put this word into circulation?
This is not “procastination” but “procrastination”.
And also Wikipedia with reinziehen, where it is correct.
Thank you nge2005 for your “constructive” objection! They remind me that I wanted to do a blog post about it!
Also here I would be glad about the name of your name!
I do not know who put the word into circulation, but I think it's a good example of language change. If you look at the google keyword tools, you'll find that the average monthly search volume is 1600:
Alone on my blog find about 200 people monthly over this keyword!
In other words: There are a lot of people who say procastination instead of procrastination and also look for it on the Internet - probably also because procastination is much easier to speak. My prognosis: this will continue to develop, if only because it is so common, and in a few years both spellings will be officially permitted.
As a linguist, for me there is no right or wrong anyway: there is only intelligibility and language change. This is how we got from the telephone to the telephone and therefore we no longer talk today as we did in Luther's time. And the Duden, which I would prefer to use as a language instance over Wikipedia, can only depict the language change - but not prescribe it.
They finally found it and understood it. What could I want more?
