it could be that the broken english is just a manifest of a broken logic. like stuttering. my psychology class is covering it soon, i think its called brocks syndrome (dont take my word for it, but its close to the word) which would only prove him to be nuts, and not prove much beyond that. just a thought. im no expert.

Interesting. Stutterers stutter when they write??? But Mel Tillis can sing..

It could also be a deception... I just want this sniper dead!

Hmm interesting. You could be right. We see it all the time on this forum with libs in conservative clothing.

Set a bunch of eager (if linguists are ever eager) linguistics students on this! There are psych-lings and archeo-lings and all kinds of linguists just dying to once, one time, be actually useful to their fellow man.

How an adult learns a foreign language is to relate it as closely to his own language as possible. Errors can be telling.

If the odd English is a symptom of psychosis, some linguists can pick up on that, too.

I'm afraid they'll just call one PhD and leave it at that. They needs lots of students to ponder this letter.
