Okaaaay, it's only a little oopsy, somebody had to say the Emperor has no clothes. After all we've only repositioned the "i" and the "n", and to commit further harm we dropped the "u" in the explanation. What's the big deal. Unfortunately, neither caluminate or calminate exist anywhere in the English language. Calumniate will get you where you want to go, because only calumniate is committing an act of calumny.
