As somebody who had to withhold a burst of laughter when hearing "procurator" mispronounced as "procreator", I approve of this article before even reading it.

Former Prime Minister of Australia, Tony Abbott, was once caught extolling the virtues of his candidate - he called her the "suppository of all wisdom".
Im glad i read this far down, Abbott was in a class of his own for sheer idiocy.
I once was asking my parents to pick up some batteries for something or other while they were at the supermarket, when I was about 13/14 and had a brain fart and said 'Durex' (a brand of condoms common to most of the world except most of America) instead of 'Duracell'.
A tough conversation followed.
My brain couldn't decide which word to use. I asked my mom when someone had moved into their condo/condominium, which came out as condom.
Honestly, without context of the legal system or such, I'd assume procurator was a typo for procreator.
