Proposalssuch

Proposalssuch is a neologism that has appeared in a small number of online glossaries, wikis, and collaborative documents. It does not refer to a single, widely accepted concept, but rather to a loosely defined term used in informal writing to discuss a class of proposals or to mark a rhetorical device that points to examples of proposals sharing certain features. In some contexts, proposalssuch functions as a noun describing a category of proposals; in others, it acts as a label indicating a placeholder for examples that follow.

Etymology and origin are not well established. The term apparently blends the word proposal with such (or with a stylized concatenation such as “proposalssuch”), and may have emerged as a shorthand in templates or annotation systems where writers want to indicate “such proposals” without naming them explicitly. Because its use is confined to limited, informal sources, there is no formal provenance or consensus on its precise meaning.

Usage and interpretation vary. Some writers use proposalssuch to reference a range of similar proposals within a document, for example: “We consider proposalssuch items in this draft.” Others treat it as a potential typographical oddity or a playful stylistic device, especially when readers expect the conventional phrase such as “such proposals.” Because of its informal status, readers encountering proposalssuch should look for clarifying context within the surrounding text.
