"I had cause to think of the word again today when reading Anu's AWADmail Issue 25 in which Bradley Perkins was quoted as writing: 'The reason I noticed it is that my mother has a peculiar habit, which she passed on to me, of alphabetizing the letters of words that she reads, as just a "mental fidget" ("aelmnt defgit").'
I couldn't work out whether the reference in the one sentence to his mother and something I would pronounce as "ailment deaf git" was deliberate or not."
Am i just easily amused, or are you guys witty as heck?? Either way, thanks for the giggles.
