It is now. On behalf of native speakers of English I hereby welcome the
phrasal verb
"fix out" to the language. I even offer a defintion and an etymological
reference:
fix out: To fix or repair by removing. E.g. "It doesn't matter if we
track who fixed
out spelling errors." (Torvalds, lkml, 2004)
See, it's official now.
