Everybody wants a piece of the action

This is a fairly pointless post, made in order to see what the score with the new posting form is. Everyone seems to be moaning about it, but beyond it being different, and a little ugly-ly laid out, I've yet to work out why it's so heinous.

If you know, you're welcome to tell me.

And just because I want to know:

malefit

Surely just as one can be beneficient or malevolent, one can have either a benefit of a malevot. Though somehow malevon sounds a little nicer. Anyway, I must disagree, malefit it a horrid horrid word that should be neither seen nor heard.

You've got your opposites confuse there - the opposite of beneficient is maleficient, and the opposite of malevolent is benevolent.

Honest, I'm not making these ones up :)

Malevon sounds like a proprietary skincare product, I'm sticking with malefit.

(To be pronounced mal-a-fit, of course, or it'd be silly.)

Hmm, good point. However, I still intend to write to my MP requesting that this word not be put in the dictionary.
