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

like that, especially when I was younger...

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.
