The inadvertent or intended modification of the language and meaning of the doctrines of the canon of the Restoration (including the New Testament) to conform to mistaken pop-culture and legalistic influences within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Perhaps the most egregious example of Mormonspeak is the common erroneous interpretation of 2 Nephi 25:23 that seeks to replace Ephesians 2:8-9 with regard to the absolute nature of grace, where, in fact, both passages are equivalent.
In other words, if we are to be saved at all, then we must be saved entirely by grace, after we do the only thing we can do as fallen mortal beings, which is to believe in Christ and be reconciled to God according to the requirements of the attainable gospel of Jesus preached by both Paul and Nephi. What we do in the plan of redemption is designed to bring us to Christ, for only he possesses the power to save.

When you are a Mormon, and you aren't married by the age of 25, your standards tend to become more lax. This phenomenon is not unlike that of a bar at closing time. LDS men and women who would not otherwise have any particular mutual attraction or interest wind up together because, within this community, if you are not married by the time you are 30, you will be a spinster / bachelor for life. To an outsider, this arrangement may seem like a cruel fate, but it bears reminding that in the Mormon religion, the sealing is an important step to gaining eternal life. In Matthew 16:19, Jesus said “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven”
