➜ #2056963לאחרונה "פשטני" משמש יותר ויותר כתחליף ל"פשוט". שיבוש כזה, המוּנע מן הסתם על יד רצון להיראות מלומד, מדלדל את השפה.

➜ #6579284Ces derniers temps, on aperçoit un emploi de plus en plus fréquent du terme "simpliste" comme substitut au mot "simple". De tels solécismes, qui sont sans doute motivés par le désir de paraître érudit, appauvrissent la langue.
