Show your source, or be judged full of yourself, and still wrong. I say you cannot truthfully show such a source.

Here is a typical example of the use of "malitia". It should warm your heart -- it is an American reference document of legal discussion from the 19th century, purportedly in consonance with the founding documents:

"Malitia est acida, est mali animi affectus." Malice is sour, it is the quality of a bad mind. 2 Buls. 49.

A Law Dictionary, Adapted to the Constitution and Laws of the United States. By John Bouvier. Published 1856.

Not caring is maybe on the order of a misdemeanor. Not being able to accept or admit being simply and concretely wrong is on the felony level.

Careful there, Shadows -- when I make observations like this I get labeled an "elitist". Except that even the word "elitist" tends to be spelled wrong. . .

But since I have a nominally decent education and I'm going to be tarred with the elitist (and liberal) brush unless I get a damned lobotomy, here it is. "Malitia" is in fact a word that is used in English -- a rather obscure word, but a word. The word "malice" comes from it. That is why the context-insensitive and uncritical spell checker lets it pass. But it is not a variant of or substitute for "militia," and it does not derive from the same root; it's just a misspelling based on hearing rather than seeing the word. What stumps me is why someone who spends so much time looking things up to fling around as evidence of the apocalypse can keep missing what such an important word in his own vocabulary simply LOOKS like.

Latin Etymology of "malitia":

Noun: From malus (“‘bad, evil’”).

malitia (genitive malitiae); f, first declension

1. a bad quality; badness, wickedness
2. spite, malice; an act of malice
3. cunning, artfulness with intent to deceive

Pointing this out and not addressing the rest of the ridiculous premises in this thread does not, for the record, indicate that I endorse or agree with the rest of said content in any way whatsoever, including by omission:

"I find it spelled both ways and CR spellcheck accepted it.

If you have nothing more than that to offer, I am glad you appear to agree with the malitia's action!

I extend my thanks"

That's about as lame a defense of being wrong, being proved wrong, and insisting on remaining wrong as I have ever heard.

What these guys said.

Up in the Providence/Boston area we used to call this American Chop Suey. We had it very very often, at home and at school. Other regions call it Goulash, or American Goulash. If you put it on long spaghetti instead of elbows, the British call it spaghetti bolognaise. Some people use tomato paste or sauce from a jar, some just use the fresh or canned tomatoes. It doesn't matter -- you can't get sick of it, it keeps well after being cooked and reheats fine, it feeds multitudes, and it doesn't break the bank. If you threw in a little ground squirrel or skunk to stretch the beef and upped the onion some, nobody would be any wiser.

My dad would have loved you, David. I know he would have offered the 30-year-old Glenfiddich, and of course you don't drink, but that's just so you know.

Goodness, why not? Something about universities that repels conservatives?
