Today, it is my aim to slip the word ‘Hyperforeignism‘ into a conversation. Here are the rules:
It must be in context.
I can not initiate the conversation.
A definition:
“When pronunciation and spelling of foreign loan words are erroneously based on rules that apply to other foreign words but not to those in question, the phenomenon is hyperforeignism.”
With a bit of luck, someone will start a conversation with me about Mardi Gras! Hint! Hint!
