Broken way
Can I use 'broken way' as 'wrong way'?
For example: But we have a broken way (wrong way) of thinking about it: we don't like to think of the people as being special, we think that what the people do is successful. ... Thanks.

In fact, in the context you give, I would consider "ineffective", "unproductive" or "useless" as alternatives for "wrong". |

Funny though, broken would mean fragmented, but does that have to mean necessarily that it doesn't work or works faulty... |

Pero de esto me nació una duda: no recuerdo haber jamás escuchado "champurrear", sino "chapurrear"; y la duda es legítima porque estuve en Chile solamente 20 años y quizá no recuerde bien. Gracias por tu respuesta.
