Of what religious transgressions does Hale accuse John Proctor?

In Act II, Hale visits the Proctors to satisfy questions he has about the depth of their commitment to their faith.  He tells John that according to the Rev. Parris's records, John has only been to church "twenty-six time in seventeen month," a record with which he finds fault, even when John points out that he has prayed at home.  "Your house is not a church; your theology must tell you that," Hale replies.


In this same interview, Hale asks why the Proctors have had only two of their three children baptized, and he dismisses John's protest that he sees "no light of God" in Rev. Parris with an admonition: "that is not for you to decide." 


Still unsatisfied, Hale asks John to recite the Ten Commandments.  John is able to recall nine of them.  Hale finds John's small memory lapse unacceptable and tells him "theology, sir, is a fortress; no crack in a fortress may be accounted small."

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
