Nowadays, with the lack of awareness of the history of a word, plus a certain amount of carefree creativity – we have new words boiled down from parts of two, to one – thus web log becomes the supremely inelegant blog - not a word which a sensitive person (Veper?) might wish to use. Similarly, these examples of “Mad English” or of Bad English could be called Denglishes – or just Dengls.
Party Conferences may become Tycons;
Sensitive Person(s) might be Vepers;
(mind you, so would insensitive persons)
tax incentives (are there such things?) would be Axinces; ....
Solar eclipses would be Larecls
keep going!!!
I'll perhaps put up some more examples - what about suggestions?
