-There are some people who add multiple supplemental qualifiers to the term "incel" which gives it a much more narrow definition than den Boon. Such a significant divergence from den Boon's definition has created a sort of "den Boon vs supplemental" clash in defining the term incel. The primary cause for this discrepancy is that those in the supplemental camp use a different defining technique called prescriptivism. Den Boon (like almost all other lexicographers) on the other hand uses the descriptivist method in defining the term.
+*[[linguistic precriptivist]]
-All academic research in linguistics utilizes descriptivism rather than prescriptivism.
