Substituting "hurted" for "hurt" is not a malapropism.

A malapropism is substituting a soundalike word with the wrong meaning because it sounds similar. And, as originally conceived, is done out of trying to adopt a vocabulary beyond ones understanding to impress.

Ferinstance;

Don't blow it out of preposition, its not that importuning.
