Actually, it is pretty amazing.

Just like my wife.

I still recognise her in the morning even though everything is out of place, not very attractive to look at and totally illogical.

Swann releases the safety on the plastic pellet gun she uses to scare off neighbourhood cats and sneaks silently into Adman's office.

*Adman realises Swann is doing him a favour at the moment and grovels like a good 'un!*

Swann reacts favourably to the grovelling, holsters her weapon and, as she returns to her own office, realises that in fact she may have found her own vaccination against NVAJD.

I might try the pellet gun on the squirrels... only problem is, that in North London any hint of a weapon and the police shoot on sight!

One poor bloke got gunned down carry an old table leg wrapped in newspaper.

Please be careful, Swann, we'd sure hate to lose you!

No relevance in word order eh? I came across something like that in my Psychology days.

Mind you, it also explains a lot about Fr*nch C*nnection, doesn't it?

So do we hope readers suffer from this? Could be handy when looking at our scripts if we haven't managed to sort out 100% of our typos!

There's also another interesting one which, again, I came across at uni, to do with unusual words. We appear to use rules for known words to decode them.

For example, read the following...

crame, fow, naid

Did you make them rhyme with frame, now (more likely than flow) and paid (more likely than said)?

Useful if you ever write something which needs a made-up language but still requires the reader to be able to read it...
