lol, im glad thats there been more responses to this!
i clearly know that the word doesnt exist, there have been a debate with my brother, and he seems to think that it exist and have taken his time to "find" the word in use, i told him, if he had to find it, it obviously doesnt exist! he even said that dictionary.com and google is wrong, but yet he says that hes right cus he found that book on google! makes me laugh!
the last 3 from the list are a form of talking though, theyre not actually "words" its like saying "he has 2 cakes and 1 bun in'nor" which really is "he has 2 cakes and 1 bun and all" its the way to say to how to write which is different.

If it aint in the dictionary it doesnt mean it aint a word. For example im from somerset and we got all sorts of words that is not in there.

It's one of those words that is in such common use - but it doesn't exist I think.
Like one that I corrected the other day - "alterior" doesn't exist. However "ulterior" does.

Is it anything like counting chickens ?
Its either a typo
or
I have found that mathematicians tend to make up words in their documents...to convey their meaning...Isn't that how coining words phrases works anyway? I remember one of my CS teachers used to make up words that he felt conveyed a better meaning than what was available in the dictionary. So it could be a word someone tried to launch.

Google says 152,000 so therefore it must be a word - http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Encounting

It is obviously just a typo.
Just tell the person to tell you what the word means. Then take them to a professor / over person with brain and get them to say the word.
????
Profit with them looking like a twit!
Seriously though, no it isn't.
