For a supposedly educated person, Cruz has no idea what "dudgeon" (which is almost always used together with "high&quot means. He can join the long list of pols and newscasters who slaughter words and phrases with mispronunciations such as "pundants," "heighth," "eckcetera," "higharchy," "a mute point," "nucular (now a classic thanks to Dubbya)," "verbage," "Klu Klux Klan," "expecially," and so on.

Then again, his misanthropic ideas and behavior toward most people should be no surprise in how poorly he uses the English language.
