A word is born:
In a meeting today, one of the programmers mentioned “insertion, deletion, or updation of records in the table.”
Sheeesh.
407,000 results on Google. Including, of course, Dictionary of Indian English.
Via Politburo Diktat.
Not everyone likes the new word, but I do. Then again, I think faxer should be a word, as in printer/copier/faxer.

Now i sound like my english teacher, but the word shouldnt exist just because it seems to fit in, the correct and sane use would be to change the words to end in "ing".
“insertion, deletion, or updation
inserting, deleting and updating.
are you saying that "insertion" isn't a word?
