Facsimulation, though, has no Google hits! You can have this word if you
want it, Sellam. A small gift for all you've done good...

I don't know. I use Merriam-Webster's Online, which has slowly degraded
over time in terms of good results since they want you to pay for better
access I guess. At any rate, they didn't have that form of the word,
though it seems perfectly valid to me.
Or are you just looking to patent it, a la M$
patenting using a
tab key in
a browser, or somesuch? :-P
Well, if there's money to be made then sure :)
