"Updations". Anyone heard this word used? I've heard this word used by two different people at different times in my IT career. Is this a real word?

Yours,
Confused

It's a word used by Indian's who have been taught it is a real English word by their schools in India, when in actual fact it is a heinous corruption of the queens English and makes my blood boil whenever I hear it, or see it in a document.

SAY NO!!!! to updation!!!!

Inserts, deletes and updates.

Insertions, deletions and updations.

Simple logic so just learn the needful.

Yes. That confirms the source. I can see the logic but the word just feels wrong.

Take those tablets, I will mention the word no more.

I think the dictionary needs an emergency updation to include this excellent new word.

Email them requesting they do the needful and give you an updation once complete.
