Hi Gilbert, you're absolutely right about the corruption of "malcurada".
"Mankurado" is absurd!
But then, Goans of today are ignorant of Portuguese language and suffer from
a tremendous lack of detail in most spellings.
So it is a lost cause to even argue about correct spellings (especially of
Portuguese words).
Most of us are too much sossegado to even know the difference.
(mind the correct spelling of the word "sossegado" !!!! Some of us still
know it !!! :-))
Best regards,
Paulo Colaco Dias.
