She really needs to upgrade her word-generating software!
She really needs to be stopped!
Good job, Sneaky!
You forgot here supreme malapropism: "entreating" (in the sense of "endearing" or something like it). She was told a billion times about it, but she (mulishly, I must say) sticks to "entreating". To be honest, sometimes I wonder if she's really a mental patient of some sort. Her whole "career" is kind of "unhealthy" to being with...
I meant "her supreme malapropism", not "here supreme..".
Well, I am working on a follow-up post. All suggestions for search terms and/or known errors are welcome. I'll add that one to the list.
