To improve the public’s understanding of the Anguish Languish. 2. To improve the academic standing of the Anguish Languish. 3. To improve the social _and_ financial standing of the Society. ☛ Policemen and Magicians A visiting professor of Anguish, Dr. ——[2], who, while learning to understand spoken English, was continually bewildered and embarrassed by the similarity of such expressions as _boys and girls_ and _poisoned gulls_, used to exclaim: “Gracious! What a lot of words sound like each other! If it wasn’t (_sic_) for the different situations in which we hear ’em, we’d have a terrible time saying which was which.” Of course, these may not have been the professor’s exact words, because he often did his exclaiming in Anguish rather than in English. In that case he would say: “_Crashes! Water larders warts sunned lack itch udder! Effervescent further deferent saturations an witch way harem, wade heifer haliver tam sang witch worse witch._” Dr. —— was right, both in English and Anguish. Although other factors than the pronunciation of words affect our ability to understand them, the situation in which the words are uttered is of prime importance. You can easily prove this, right in the privacy of your own kitchen, by asking a friend to help you wash up a dozen cops and sorcerers. Ten to one, she’ll think you said a dozen _cups and saucers_, and be genuinely surprised if you put her to work cleaning up even _one_ police officer, let alone all the others, and the magicians, too. If you think that she misunderstands merely because the two phrases sound somewhat alike and _not_ because of the situation, read what SPAL’s Committee on Housewives has to say: “Presented with a dishes-piled-in-sink situation, several hundred well-adjusted housewives thought that _cops and sorcerers_ referred to dishes, but seldom did normal subjects, interviewed under the same conditions, make the opposite mistake. When they were asked to help us wash _cups and saucers_, some women consented, some made stupid excuses, and some told us bluntly to go wash them ourselves, but _practically no one thought that we were talking about policemen and magicians_.” [Illustration: “_Are empty mustard off mar fate_ _Are empty catsup off mouse hole._”] What Anguish Really Is. ☚ The experiments described above, and hundreds of similar ones conducted by SPAL show that _an unbelievable number of English words, regardless of their usual meanings, can be substituted quite satisfactorily for others_. When _all_ the words in a given passage of English have been so replaced, the passage keeps its original meaning, but all the words have acquired new ones. _A word that has received a new meaning has become a ~wart~, and when all the words in the passage have become warts, the passage is no longer English; it’s ~Anguish~._ Are There Any Good Reasons to Study Anguish? ☚ This is not an altogether silly question, and it deserves the prompt and unequivocal answer any Anguish Languish enthusiast will give it. “_Watcher mane, ardor rainy gut raisins toe sturdy anguish?_” he will say, and will probably give you an impressive list of them which will certainly include the following: _1. Anguish is fun._ You and your friends can make a game out of learning Anguish, and you’ll have fun developing your own style and observing each other’s efforts. How to begin will be explained later. _2. Anguish Languish means verbal economy._ If words can be made to do double, triple, or even quadruple duty, it is obvious that we don’t need so many of them. Wouldn’t it be a comfort to know that, in the event of some unpredictable disaster wiping out half of our English vocabulary, we could, if we had learned Anguish, get along nicely with what we had left?[3] _3. Anguish helps out in certain social situations._ People who aren’t sure of themselves should learn Anguish. Suppose you have been asked to dinner by the president of your company and his wife. Since you haven’t met your hostess, you have spent some time, before going, thinking up something to say that will really interest her. Finally you decide to ask, during the dinner: “Mrs. Bellowell, didn’t I hear that your brother Henry was discovered to be in collusion with those election crooks?” The moment arrives, but you no sooner get her attention than you have sudden misgivings. Too late to change your subject, you slip deftly into Anguish: “Mrs. Bellowell ... deaden are hair ditcher broader Hennery worse dish-cupboard toe bang collision wet dozer liquor-chin crocks?” Chances are that everyone will be so fascinated by the graceful form of your question that not even your hostess will attach much importance to what you’ve asked. [Illustration: EUROPE OILY DISK MOANING! DOILY BOARD CASHES OR WARM!] _4. Anguish relieves that terrible craving to tell dialect stories._ People who are addicted to telling dialect stories, or chronically frustrated because they can’t tell them without Scotch brogue or Brooklynese getting mixed up with Deep South, will be overjoyed with Anguish. _Anguish is definitely ~not~ a dialect, since it consists ~only~ of unchanged English words which anyone can pronounce._ By imparting a delicate and indefinably exotic accent to one’s speech, however, it not only provides a socially acceptable substitute for telling dialect stories, but adds to one’s personal charm.[4] _5. Anguish improves your English._ As your Anguish vocabulary increases, you’ll find that your English vocabulary does, too, but you must be careful not to mix them up—something which people orphan do when they begin to use words accordion to the way they sound rather than how they’re spelled. Words which are rare in English are often common enough in Anguish, so you have new opportunities to see them. Suppose you’re spending a week-end reciting nursery rhymes in Anguish to a happy group of children or immature adults, and come across _SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE, A POCKET FULL OF RYE_. In Anguish, this, of course, is _SINKER SUCKER SOCKS PANTS, APOCRYPHAL AWRY_. This will give you an unexpected chance to use the last two words. You’d be surprised to know how many people haven’t the faintest idea what a xyster is until they hear a SPAL member talking about his fodder, murder, broader, and xyster. This makes them want to look _xyster_ up. When they do, they find that, although _xyster_[5] in Anguish, may mean _sister_, in English it’s nothing in the world but a common raspatorium. Now raspatoria, and, therefore xysters are important surgical instruments, nice to know about before being scheduled for an aberration. Speaking of xysters, hominy people know what _higglery_ is? Very few, yet it occurs in the Anguish Languish version of something as well known as: “Murder, mare argo art toe swarm?” “Yap, mar doling dodder, Hank yore clues honor higglery larme An dun gore norther warder!” While you’re looking up _higglery_, you might find _larme_, just a few pages away in Webster’s Unabridged. [Illustration: “—_wail, debt worse inner laest wake off Dismember—nor, inner foist wake off Janizary—Doctor Smatters (haze mar surging) gummier fun cull wan moaning, an set: ‘Gut moaning, Messes Huffywate, heresy ladle bat noose furrier—yore garner heifer heifer nodder aberration.’ Wail, whinny set ~debt~—” etc., etc._] _6. Practical Anguish._ Anguish can be used for group study at parties and entertainments; as a psychological test of something or other (we don’t know just what),[6] and as practice material in Speech and Typing classes. How Can One Learn Anguish? ☚ 1. Read everything in this text aloud, and preferably in a group. Make a game of it. You’ll find it easier to understand Anguish when you _hear_ it than when you see it. If you have trouble, listen to someone else read it to you, preferably someone who doesn’t quite know what he’s reading. This often gives the best effect. Watch what happens when the listeners understand better than the reader. 2. Don’t try to read too fast and be sure to give all words their usual English pronunciation, regardless of the new meaning the word has acquired. An accurate pronunciation and good intonation are most effective. 3. Don’t worry if you seem to have suddenly acquired a slight accent; your friends will tell you that this is most attractive. [1] The members of SPAL are the persons who have written to the author concerning the Anguish Languish, especially the thousands who wrote to request copies of LADLE RAT ROTTEN HUT after Arthur Godfrey’s inimitable reading of it, on his television show. The society is very poorly organized, in fact few of the members even know they belong. There are no officers, no meetings, no convention, and, worst of all, from the point of view of the author and founder, no dues. [2] This isn’t his real name, nor is it intended to be the name of any other Anguish Languish professor, living or dead. [3] Whether or not such a calamity is likely to occur seems entirely beside the point; in times like these one should be prepared for any emergency. [4] _ANGUISH ANONYMOUS_, an organization of former dialect story tellers, sponsored by SPAL, can be called in difficult cases. [5] The plural of _xyster_ in Anguish, is _cisterns_. See, in this book, the story of _Center Alley_. [6] A research psychologist plans to use _Anguish Languish_ to provide data for a study entitled: “_Individual and Sex Differences in Configurational Perception of Artificially Contrived but Phenomenologically Comprehensible Auditory Stimuli._” This sounds as if it should mean something. * * * * * The first item in this collection is a story familiar to all readers—LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD. Or, as you can probably say now in Anguish, LADLE RAT ROTTEN HUT. _Heresy ladle furry starry toiling udder warts—warts welcher altar girdle deferent firmer once inner regional virgin._ This sentence means: “Here is a little fairy story told in other words—words which are altogether different from the ones in the original version.” ORIOLE RATTY?

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
