"DEPLORABLE" IS NOT A NOUN. IT IS AN ADJECTIVE. SHOULD DICTIONARIES CHANGE THE DESIGNATION OF THE WORD DEPLORABLE TO A NOUN BECAUSE THE WORLD'S SMARTEST WOMAN OF 1997 USED IT AS SUCH IN 2016?
de·plor·a·ble
/dəˈplôrəb(ə)l/
adjective

I can see where this is going to ruffle some feathers on the feminism front.
