Linguist explained why the term 'disconnection schedules' is a mistake.

According to inkorr.com: Linguist Olga Vasilieva explained why the phrase 'disconnection schedules' is lexically incorrect. She noted that it is a calque from the Russian language, where this expression can be used but does not conform to the norms of the Ukrainian language.

In Vasilieva's opinion, it is more correct to use the words 'turn off' or 'disconnect' in the Ukrainian language, rather than 'cut off' or 'exclude'. She emphasized that all words with the root 'key' (such as 'exclude' or 'cut off') have many calques that are considered incorrect.

Proposal to use the term 'power outage schedule' instead of 'disconnection schedules'

Instead of 'disconnection schedules', it is more correct to use 'scheduled/emergency power outages' or 'power outage schedules'. The linguist recommends opting for the more precise variant — 'power outage schedule'.

Thus, Olga Vasilieva pointed out the incorrectness of the expression 'disconnection schedules' used by Ukrainians and proposed more accurate terms 'scheduled/emergency power outages' or 'power outage schedules'. She believes that this will help adhere to language norms and improve the circulation of linguistic material in Ukrainian.

Discussion regarding language usage, especially in the context of terminology, is important for maintaining linguistic purity. Supporting the correct use of terms helps avoid misunderstandings and contributes to the development of the Ukrainian language in modern conditions.
