Subject: RE: Malapropisms
When aah did me trainin' as a naval meteorologist one of the lads wrote in an exam "...... is a specific weather report for shipping porpoises" instead of purposes

The same guy should have written 'Fracto-stratus', to describe the cloud that gives us drizzle, but he wrote 'Fractus-cactus'

He passed the course anyway and now works for The Met Office in the UK - Aah think he meks the tea
