What are the ingredients in Crayola washable products?

The Crayola company makes art materials for children. Because of this, most of their products are not permanent, though some pigments  may be more likely to stain skin, clothing, or surfaces. To address this issue, the company offers a number of art supplies like markers, crayons, and paints which are formulated to be easier to wash off. 


Unfortunately, Crayola does not share the specific formulations of their products. However, they do share on their website's Frequently Asked Questions that the main ingredients in Crayola markers are water and dye. They also state in their FAQ that products manufactured by Crayola (but not necessarily all Crayola products) are free from potential allergens like peanuts, eggs, milk, whey, shellfish and D&C Red Dye #40. Crayons contain paraffin wax and pigments, but Crayola is far less specific about the ingredients of colored pencils. 


Perhaps if you are concerned about specific ingredients possibly being in the washable Crayola products, you could write a letter or email to the company asking whether the particular allergen is in any of their products.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
