amusing how Heinz and Mohan are sometimes guardians of English usage :-)

I suppose it was a spontaneous play on the word terminations "She has looked worser and worser the longer...", isn't that the stuff poetry is made of? :-)

For word games, Finnigan's Wake is probably the ultimate, though for aural ambiguity, French is really bad (try reading "Le Canard enchain‚" for a real dose!)
