• pescetarianism seems to be the less common spelling, not the other way around:
  • dictionary.com has pescatarian, but not pescetarian
  • OED, M-W, Cambridge have both, but both list pescetarian as the "variant" and pescatarian as the main spelling
  • counter-argument: American Heritage has both, but lists pescatarian as the variant
  • Google search compare shows pescatarian to be the clearly dominant spelling since 2016 (though interestingly they were somewhat close before that)
  • Google books ngram shows the same divergence, but starting from about 2007
  • NYT has 95 results for pescatarian and 25 for pescetarian
  • wiktionary lists pescatarian as the alternative form of pescetarian, but I suspect that is prescriptive, not descriptive

What you are saying is probably accurate, I did a search for cookbooks, most of them have pescatarian in the title. However, I don't see this issue as that important because pescatarianism is also cited in the lead. People searching for both terms will be directed to the article.

Oh agreed, definitely very low importance. Jun-Dai ( talk) 19:13, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I think the section needs more context about Pescetarianism within Hinduism. There are certain Caste of brahmins that eat fish alone. That is missing from the section. Everything else is unnecessary. VIBHAATH GUDTROT ( talk) 08:41, 4 July 2024 (UTC) reply
