LIZ: Tamil reminds me of lots of &&&&& &&&&& &&&&& all the time if ya know what I mean
FISHIE: I agree 100%
SYD: for all I know the whole lot of that sample could have been the imaginative yet meaningless doodlings of an unemployed graphic designer... know what I mean !!?!
AD I once read a Chinese takeaway menu that had obviously been composited by a non-English speaking printer. He had confused the lowercase letters r and t a few times.

And that is my only excursion into such strangeness...
