If Mr MacNeil is going to be pretentious he has an obligation to get his pretentions right. The word 'prosletisor' is not one. Someone who proselytises|proselytizes is a proselytiser|proselytizer. Moreover, while Shakespeare did of course get alliteration right in Sonnet XXX, the unlettered should avoid it. They are all but certain to produce only doggerel, as here, when they attempt it. I suppose that I should be grateful that our American near monopoly on the use of subliterate constructs has been broken, but I am not.
