Exactly.
Her abuse of the English language resulted from her desperation to impress but not being equipped with a knowledge of the English vocabulary or the rules relating nouns, verbs and adjective to do so. She was, for instance, unaware of the word professionalism, and instead used professionality.
She was employing the behaviour of a school child that had yet to discover much of the English language.
She was also absolutely awful at everything she did, including pitching, and quite how she managed to get through the auditions is shocking.
