I’m not aware of how you conjure retarded out of of the English maloprasm.
I’ve tried to be nice to you Maggie but you are constantly the one being nasty and stirring up trouble.
I understand that you are ill but that is no reason for your behavior.
There are others in this Forum that just get on with what life throws at them.

Interesting how prasm is defined at urban dictionary, not very nice but es la vida. Don’t look for what ain’t there. Named after an English Lady. |

And would you kindly show us a definition in any dictionary of the word Maloprasm? Or the name of any person called Maloprasm? Malo means "bad" in Spanish. "Prasm" means idiot or retard. You are among adults who like to delve into words. Please enlighten me so that I can apologize for my faulty research. |

No, I don’t t like to delve into words.
I’m not a word smith.
Malopropism is what I meant, but corrective text messed that up.
You were obviously looking for something that was not there. In your usual way to create owt out of nowt.

How on earth did Cameron come up with that definition of prasm. I searched so many pages in Google and all I got was "Passenger Revenue per Available Seat Mile." Page after page that's what it stood for. Then I saw Cameron's definition obtained from the urban dictionary. Prasm there has an entirely different meaning. Yes it's not a good word however malapropism is. Here's the play if you'd like to watch Mrs Malaprop's malapropisms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc6edQHwRII |

After trying to find a definition or meaning for maloprasm, in vain, I can honestly say I found no reference to an English lady either.
As a rule I expect adults to at least make an effort to act like adults. I also don't tend to pick nits or try to be coy.
If Maggie or anyone else is offending you [whether intentionally or not] and if a moderator can't help you resolve the issue contact Benziger.
My suggestion is, if you don't want people looking for what ain't there go for clarity. Have a nice day while I catch up on news.

 Cameron, Easy to find Mrs Malaprop. You were looking for something that was never there. Different countries, different countries. Lorika spotted it straight away, but then she wasn’t look for the slightest chance to vent her spleen as Maggie continuously is. The character Mrs. Malaprop is a humorous aunt who gets mixed up in the schemes and dreams of young lovers in Richard Brinsley Sheridan's 1775 comedy-of-manners The Rivals. One of the funniest aspects of Mrs. Malaprop's character is that she often uses an incorrect word to express herself. |

You're right Retread-Retired-Cameron there is no reference to an English lady for malaprasm, but there is for malapropism, which Ken said he meant. It's Mrs Malaprop. She is so funny and Maggie said that Ken was being funny. "you've gotten funny." I do think he was trying to help those who are unwell when he wrote out the words to Amazing Grace. It's unfortunate that it's often used in funerals. However it would appear it's all been a big misunderstanding. Both Ken and Maggie have helped so many people, including me, both on here and on the old Lulu. I wish them both all the best.

One of the funniest aspects of Mrs. Malaprop's character is that she often uses an incorrect word to express herself. So you made an error? You didn't mean to write Maloprasm; you meant to write Malapropism right after your "You don't change" post? Ok, that makes a lot of sense. Please forgive me for assuming you don't make mistakes in your word choices, and that you are meticulous in your usage of the English language. |

Maloprasm makes more sense given the context. Malapropism doesn't seem to fit after the words "You don't change," Thank you, Ken. You have inspired study of context and the English language. |
