metamorphose? Of course, this is bunk, but you know that. Points for different, but then you could use that fucked up font...what the fuck is it called?............Wingdings, and make it completely illegible.

Metamorphose â yes. Bunk â no. Wingdings would make it completely illegible, and anyone can do that. I wanted it barely legible, with just enough pattern so the reader can see order in apparent chaos.

He probably means "you konw a wrod
by its frist and lsat letetrs" is bunk. Which it is. Even you don't believe that; you believe "you konw a wrod by its frist and lsat letetrs as lnog as teh lttrse bwteeen are hte smae." And even that's not the case.

Even you were able to read this. It's even easier than I thought. Of course, you want me to spell out every detail of the process for you.

You don't have to. But notice everybody in the world reads 'teh' as 'the'. Even my Microsoft Word. First and last letters simply don't have anything to do with it. As I understand it (from my wife who degreed in language acquisition, among others) it has to do with either a certain percent of letters in their appropriate places (but not necessarily first and last) or simply a certain percent of the correct letters present. Beyond that, you'll have to ask -=Dark_Angel=-,P.I. for details. But then, you'd rather gouge out your own ovaries than do that, wouldn't you?

PS-One thing I love about you is how you're always willing to match something you read in an email forward against the product or real interested inquiry. Go ahead.

Who's that folkish painter in the bronx, a latin man? That guy paints with words sometimes to instill the point that our minds have the amazing ability to organize chaos. I like the the concept at the end.
I thnk this is nice.

I donât know what painter you mean. Glad you understood it and got what I was saying in a cryptic way.

Dovina I let my son read your poem he's in the fifth grade, and they are just beginning to study chaos. He was very amazed the way you had it organized.

Thatâs great that he was able to read it. Did he get all of the words, even metamorphose? Even if he didnât, but figured out the way it works, thatâs good for a fifth grader. Maybe they have an easier time of bringing order to chaos than we do.

10 for the difficulty in intentionally fucking the spelling up.

Actually, sex and chaotic spelling go nicely together â not difficult atol.

Yes, if by "sex" you mean "gender, particularly female." If you mean "good sex", then bow'ls. You've been writing about wanting to (and not succeeding at) getting laid for almost a year now.

That's low. Even lower than your usual name calling.

Oh. Sorry.
