Dogberry is famous for his malapropisms, or incorrect uses of words. I put the wrong word in italics and the right word after the quote.
A. "We will spare for no wit, I warrant you. Here's that shall drive some of them to a nonecome. Only get the learned writer to set down our excommunication, and meet me at the jail." (Examination)
B. "Goodman Verges, sir, speaks a little off the matter-an old man, sir, and his wits are not so blunt." (Sharp)
C. "O villain! Thou wilt be condemned into everlasting redemption for this." (Damnation)
