Wasn't Adolf Hitler a Catholic altar boy in his youth?

The neat thing about inventing words is you can spell them the way you like. If you're going for a specific effect, you have artistic license. 'Demoronicizing' is aesthetically correct. As far as I know, demoronizing or demoronicizing aren't formal words. There are general rules for forming words, but a valid precept is that the sound should echo the sense. Or the sound should echo the nonsense, in the case of demoronicizing. |

It's aesthetics that says whether a new word is good. It's like art - it's either good or not, and no analysis is necessary on it, and you don't need to be appointed as an arbiter to be able to coin one. Excuse me for jumping into your discussion.

Tell me there are no aesthetics in that. I rest my case.

He didn't always mess around with the rules of grammar; when he did, it was to create a specific effect. "r-p-o-p-h-e-s-s-a-g-r", for example, was meant to give a visual effect of the movement of a grasshopper on the page and capital letters and commas would have broken the motions.
