Discluded? Are you sure you don't mean excounted?

Well it's not in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, but that's just one source. I assumed they meant "excluded" because I've never seen "discluded" used... Ever?

Must be hard to understand these terms as an American I guess.

It's just very rare, the Oxford English Dictionary claims that it is 400 times less common than 'excluded'. I would expect many Brits and other native speakers to get confused or at least slow down when reading it too.
