Solecisms are usually thought of as syntactic/grammatical mistakes. "The words employed may be English, but they may be combined in a way that is not English. This is Solecism," says Alexandetr Bain (1879). The word also applies to mistakes made in social settings--faux pas. Malapropisms are very, very like catachesis except that they are mistakes made out of pure ignorance (and not at all from careless inadvertance or a lack of sufficient familiarity with how a particular word is generally used) and they serve to inspire derisive laughter. They're Archie Bunkerisms. After all, the word comes from the name of a silly/foolish character in a play.

What’s the difference between this one and the two at the top (solecism and malapropism)?
