Is repealment a word?
It showed up on dictionary.com, but my word spell checker says its not a word. If its not what should I say in place? Like im trying to say "the official repealment of the bill." Thanks in advance.

Under "Repealment" my dictionary shows the word "Repeal" and "n. (-ment)".
That makes it a word as far as I am concerned.

"Repealment: is not a word. Your sentence could read "The official repeal (abolishment, nullification) of the bill".

Just use 'repeal".
According to www.thefreedictionary.com the definition of repealment is "Recall, as from banishment". It has nothing to do with repealing a law.
