You can't always defend the misuse of some words by saying that it's
your "idiolect" (that's for that reason that I corrected myself and
know
say "brava!" when I applause a woman, whatever strange looks I get.
If you want
to use an Italian word, at least use it correctly).

True, true, but you still can't force people out of their dialectal
habits, no matter what language the word comes from. Not that I
disagree, it's a bit of a travesty to use "macaroni" (which
incidentally should be spelt "maccheroni") as an umbrella term for
all pasta (though I am adverse to using Italian plurals of Italian
words in English :)
