Anonymous internet creativity
Creativity on the net is amazing. Many times you receive jokes, thought provoking articles, presentations, friendship messages etc. as email forwards from friends and relatives.
Some of these are very interesting and enjoyable but you seldom come to know about the creator.
It just moves on the internet from email box to email box without any reference to the original creator of the stuff.
I am sure such emails at some point in time will also end up at the original creator’s mail box simply because of the fact that the mails just keep getting forwarded from one person to another.
Below is one such email forward I received from a friend and as usual do not know who is the original creator. May be this is taken from a book, may be someone wrote it and sent to his friends who while forwarding removed the original author credits.
I take this opportunity to say that anonymous author “well done, this is super creativity”.
This guy, has sat and looked at some English words and phrases, re-arranged the letters and has come up with new words/ phrases that can be connected to the original words / phrases.
It is also possible that some software geek sat and wrote a program to jumble letters in a word and waited until something meaningful showed up.
These are known as “anagrams”.
An anagram (Greek anagramma ‘letters written anew’, passive participle of ana- ‘again’ + gramma ‘letter’) is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once; e.g., orchestra = carthorse, Eleven plus two = Twelve plus one, A decimal point = I’m a dot in place. Someone who creates anagrams is called an anagrammatist.[1] The original word or phrase is known as the subject of the anagram.
One thing is sure, this person must be a very intelligent person having the ability to see things in a different perspective.
When you rearrange the letters, don’t these words reveal more?
