How to Use the U: UBIQUE and UBIQUITY

If a person is UBIQUITOUS, it means he is everywhere.

"Peyton Manning is ubiquitous in TV commercials."

However UBIQUITOUS is NOT in The Dictionary.

What is in The Dictionary is UBIQUE, "everywhere" and UBIQUITY: "the state of being everywhere at the same time." UBIQUITY is pluralized UBIQUITIES.

Presumably by this definition you could say, "Peyton Manning is UBIQUE." and that would be grammatically correct. You could also say, "Peyton Manning has the quality of UBIQUITY."

As far as UBIQUITIES is concerned... maybe, "Athletes demonstrate the success of UBIQUITIES when it comes to commercials."
