For future discussion- perhaps?: "porrect" vs "correct"
It is said that a person can never be "porrect" unless they are "correct", but the same person can go through their entire life being "correct" without ever being "porrect".
"Porrect" people stand up for what they know is right. "Correct" people say what they know is right but they never stand up for it.
People who stand up for what they know is wrong are obviously "inporrect" but, if they are in the majority, probity doesn't matter.
In fact, probity isn't worth a tinker's dam.
"Inporrect" people are more concerned about their position than they are about their position. Therefore, it doesn't really matter what position they are taking, whether it is sideways or backwards.
Whatever position you take on this, one thing is certain. An "inporrect" position can never lead onwards, or upwards.
