The other day I became convinced that "son" wasn't spelt right: it just didn't look like an English word to me.

john lilly (famous for dolphin research and development of the sensory deprivation tank) did some research on perception and the repetition of words. he'd make a tape loop of a word, "cogitate" for example, play it back to test subjects, and after a few minutes of hearing the word "cogitatecogitateogitateogitateogitateogitateogitateogitate repeated ogitate..." test subjects would hear all sorts of unrelated words and syllables emerge. sort of a linguistic rorschach experience.
it is odd how language becomes a frame for our reality, second nature to our thinking, and then can seem so strange and unfamiliar in some moments. language frees and imprisons you all at once...

plaidzebra::; interesting information man! cool! thanks! ! ! ! ! ! !

really though, thats pretty fuckin neat, I always thought about that, if you just heard it over and over and over instead of just saying it over and over would it be the same but different? er...

maybe, every word when you concentrate on it becomes weird and loses its obviousness... ' _ '

yes if you repeat something that isnt a real word, it starts to sound like real words

There was a study, and I think 'SQUID' was supposed to be the strangest english word. Try it out.
