I'm just going to crawl back under my stone (or rock, for our American readers).
I'm bi-lingual - I can spell words incorrectly in 2 languages

Being licentious/dissolute, to suggest/spam on a topic is not a bad thing until someone is in mode of attack as a mode of defense.
It would be a great feeling to be a Poobah and looking for the stage of Grand Poobah. And Vitor is at his the Best.
 Don't. But do

It's a kindly thought. I just wish the spelling wasn't going through a dip.

You're quite right, but I think you will find that 'profligacy' perhaps suits
Vitor better (than the Original Grand Poobah):

Grand Pooh-bah is a term derived from the name of the haughty character Pooh-Bah in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado (1885). In this comic opera, Pooh-Bah holds numerous exalted offices, including Lord Chief Justice, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Master of the Buckhounds, Lord High Auditor, Groom of the Back Stairs, and Lord High Everything Else. The name has come to be used as a mocking title for someone self-important or high-ranking and who either exhibits an inflated self-regard, who acts in several capacities at once, or who has limited authority while taking impressive titles.
