Itās an old problem. Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch aka Q published a book in 1916 called On the Art of Writing in which he spent a certain amount of effort pointing out what bad style, and how pretentious, it was to use long words all the time to show off the fact that you knew them. Itās marginally worse to use long words very slightly wrong all the time to prove that you donāt know them, of course.
Mrs Malaprop is an early (1775) example of the vulgar, in error; Dogberry (?1598-9) an even earlier one.

This is my own typo; I typed it. It is 100% genuine, and I am very proud. And the cat is doing zoomies; now you might call that coincidence, but I know it is tribute to my inadvertent genius.
Oh, the typo?

Of course a lotion is not to be confused with an embrocation.
