You got the spelling wrong. The English word is "perambulate".

It's a valid word, you only got the spelling wrong. The correct spelling is perambulate. I bet your lecturer used it to describe efulefu students too.

Ours is British English not American's. That word is wrong. Could be correct in American English.

The fact remains that "practicalize" is used both in US and in Britain.
Practicalise is the misspelt version.

Mozlem

Example:
1. All mozlems are terrorists
2. Mohammed (SAW) is a child raping & murderous mozlem terrorist

This is true. Some don’t have the ability exhibit this wicked trend, until they have.
