bastardize

NO

Hi :) I think the word you may be looking for is bastardize. Bastardize has two meanings. One means to say that a child is illegitimate- that is that the child's parents weren't married. I've hardly ever heard it used that way though. Usually it means to change something so that it isn't as good as it was- like "Man-- that song was really good! That new version completely basterdized it! Hope that helps. Here's the link to the dictionary: http://www.answers.com/topic/bastardize

'MSN and text language bastardize the English language beyond recognition'

the south Afrikaans dialect is a bastardized version of Dutch, this is according to linguists and because I speak Dutch and have a good knowledge of Afrikaans, I agree.

there is a theory that we have modified our wheat over the decades and made a grain more intense and grows more efficiently. This has given rise to celiac disease in our country. More so then say Italy or other countries who have somewhat preserved the grain and don't bastardize it like we do. Some people who are allergic to wheat say they can eat wheat products from Italy. This probably because they are eating pasta and who else doesn't want it from mf Italy. That said; Again, they do not bastardize the grain as we do, so maybe this is more digestible to those who improperly process our over processed form of the grain... It's funny but I've got a few friends who shop at trader Joe's for the pasta and they say they don't have any reaction. (they are not celiac though, nor allergic to gluten)
