académique : Il est fautif d’employer «académique» au sens de théorique, didactique, intellectuel, abstrait, peu pratique, spéculatif, voire stérile, que possèdent les adjectifs anglais «academic» et «moot». Plutôt que d’affirmer qu’une argumentation, une prétention, une question est académique, on dira qu’elle est, selon le cas, «théorique», «spéculative», «sans portée pratique». 4, record 1, French, - th%C3%A9orique
