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

Use that same AI to check if the "s" variant is valid or not and then come back to report your findings.

TRAFFICATOR is a valid word.
~~TRAFFICATE~~ is bad

~~PRACTICALIZE~~ and ~~PRACTICALISE~~
Both are strange to the dictionary.

THIERSELF is standard usage

MUMU is a valid word that means a dress

BADDEST is pretty valid

Baddest isn't valid, it's archaic or colloquial English...

It's not formal in any case
