Nota Bene: Todd's link to dictionary.reference.com lists two dictionary entries for prepend. Sources? the "free on-line dictionary" and "jargon file 4.2.0," the self-proclaimed "comprehensive compendium of hacker slang."

Not exactly what I'd rest my case on for its inclusion as a member of the English language.

if we allow prepend, we will eventually wind up with 'postpend' as a synonym for append. stop the madness now.

St. Francis de Sales (patron saint of writers) founded the Académie in 1618, four years before his death. Anticipating the ascendancy of English in centuries to come, this prescient cleric still names members to the august body through divine intervention. If you hear the call, you're a member. I'm a member. You're not.
