Grammar Cop has cited writers in the past for using words that aren’t words. Irregardless is one. Reoccur is another. Neither is a real word, but writers use them instead of regardless and recur.
Here’s another. Unthaw. The word is thaw. Unthaw isn’t a real word, but if it were it would be a synonym for freeze.
Watch out for those pesky non-words. When in doubt, check a reliable dictionary.
