ORIGINAL: Jeffff Main Entry: mal·ice Pronunciation: \ˈma-ləs\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin malitia, from malus bad Date: 14th century 1 : desire to cause pain, injury, or distress to another 2 : intent to commit an unlawful act or cause harm without legal justification or excuse I hope this helps Jeff Malice (noun) synonym MALICE, MALEVOLENCE, ILL WILL, SPITE, MALIGNITY, SPLEEN, GRUDGE means the desire to see another experience pain, injury, or distress. MALICE implies a deep-seated often unexplainable desire to see another suffer. Love that word and its definition. Used to use it as a "scene" name. *shrugs* To stay on topic. To the OP. Thanks for the warning. Im sure plenty of newcomers will sleep better at night after reading your words of warning and wisdom. C-D
