I have replayed gnu's OP on his GROSSLY MISNAMED thread. The Dalai Lama makes use there of neither word, so I can't see why gnu, in his defensive bluster, should cite his OP as if it confirmed his usage. He is plainly guilty of an appalling catchresis. He meant 'spirituality', not 'spiritualism', whatever he says. Why, Mrs Malaprop herself, if she knew the antonomasia formed from her name, might protest, as he does, that she knew, and said, what she meant, and the world has no right to tell her different. But she would just be silly to do so.

And so is gnu. Ignore him and go on thinking 'spirituality'; even if he goes on saying table-rapping by mediums when he means admiring the beauty of the universe or whevs!

LoL!
