it's disappointing whenever someone tries to post something fun and then someone has to start politicizing the thread in a negative way.

Wow, it works (even in Aus). Strange, it only works with certain words.

But but...... I like my foil hat, its my only ally against the government. Man I had so much fun spreading this on the msn list and preaching against the government.

The general formula seem to be: first word is even-numbered and the rest of words are odd-numbered. (software bug?)

Even (space) odd (space) odd (space) odd (space) odd ….

- no consecutive ‘a’ (on odd words) or multiple a (if first odd is ‘a’).
- minimum words seem to be 11 letters (without spaces). Eg. ‘do dog and cat’.
- there seem to be no maximum.

Copy and paste this:
bush a dog and mouse and cat and cow and hoe and cheetah and sealion and leopard and and octopus and eagle and rat and lemur and leprechauns and snake and hen and hog and raccoon and bat and moose

first I was thinking if it could be something with an AI choosing between ANSI and Unicode format when saving, but I'm not sure... If you open an ANSI document as if it was Unicode, it will look strange (boxes etc), but there's no identifying header in text documents explaining whether it's Unicode or ANSI, so notepad must make the choice.

Edit: it turns out that's exactly how it works

"rush hid the facts" has the same effect. It only works in a new document as well. If you edit and save again then reopen, it will display correctly. Sofware bug by the looks of it.

You've nailed it. I tried "ed despise bread" and it worked. I don't think the NSA has any opposition to some guy named Ed despising bread and having poor grammatical skills. Oddly enough, a capital E seemed to not work.
