I despise the word “infotainment”, because it's a neologism and because it's a bastard of a word born in a car crash in a tunnel under a collapsing mountain. However, technology companies are necessarily dominated by an engineering mindset in which bodging words together is the only way to make concepts fit into the scrapheaps of their minds.
So despite my Puritan approach to English language usage, I'll tolerate the word "infotainment" but only on condition that it's understood to be a nonsense by at least one other person in the world. And provided that I never utter it first.
