Well, I'm a South African and one thing about us black South Africans is that we like learning about other people's languages and cultures.

TRAFFICATOR is a valid word.
TRAFFICATE is bad

PRACTICALIZE and PRACTICALISE
Both are strange to the dictionary.

THEIRSELF is standard usage

MUMU is a valid word that means a dress

BADDEST is pretty valid
