👉 Misadapting, in the context of linguistics and language theory, refers to a situation where an individual adapts or modifies another person's speech, tone, or expression in order to convey a message that is different from their original intent. Misadapting can occur through various means such as imitation, borrowing words, paraphrasing, or using idiomatic expressions. This phenomenon has been studied extensively by linguists and language theorists in the fields of pragmatics, semantics, and communication studies
