Narcist or Narcissist

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Narcist or Narcissist

Post by Sophie Gabriel »

Is this grammar correct? "The mix of hatred, book and street smartness, comradice, a psychotic narcist who writes about his murders..." My focus being, 'a psychotic narcist'. Or does it have to be 'a psychotic narcissist'?

Narcissist is correct, the other is not.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.

The correct form is narcissist, while narcist should be considered a spelling mistake on the author's behalf.
