Originally posted by Stregone'Exceed' is indeed a verb, but thanks to the magic of derivational suffixes, 'Exceedance' is a noun.
Because EXCEEDANCE is not a recognize word (according to the American Heritage Dictionary). EXCEED is a VERB, not a NOUN! Did you finish high school? Do you own a dictionary?
It's probably not being recognised as it's an uncommon lexeme. Only the more widely used lexemes (like 'deliverance' for example) are accepted by most modern spell-checkers.

The fact that it's not found in the American Heritage Dictionary doesn't mean a sack of crap to me as most Americans can barely speak the language as it is.

Originally posted by Daemon Sinpace, DS, but that's not strictly true. If one were to apply such a suffix rule nolens volens, the floodgates would surely open, and English become even more debased than she is now. One can scarcely imagine the horrors - especially with some of the more basic Anglo-Saxon verbs, and those with generally shorter stems.
[...] thanks to the magic of derivational suffixes [...]
As I understand it, "exceedance" is a word in its own right, and - though patently derived from the verb - means something along the lines of: "the probability that an orgasm will generate a level of ground-motion that exceeds a specified reference level during a given exposure time."
Sorry... I think I meant to type "earthquake" ... got distracted 😉
