Gibberish is a generic term in English for talking that sounds like speech, but carries no actual meaning. This meaning has also been extended to meaningless text or gobbledygook. The common theme in gibberish statements is a lack of literal sense, which can be described as a presence of nonsense. The word may derive from the word "jabber" ("to talk nonsense"), with the "-ish" suffix to signify a language; alternatively, the term gibberish may derive from the eclectic mix of English, Spanish, Hebrew, Hindu and Arabic spoken on the British territory of Gibraltar, which is unintelligible to non-natives. The term was first seen in English in the early 16th century . A common theory is that the word comes from the name of the famous 8th-century Islamic alchemist, Jabir ibn Hayyan, whose name was Latinized as "Geber", thus the term "gibberish" arose as a reference to the incomprehensible technical jargon often used by Jabir and other alchemists who followed. A second explanation is from the British colony Gibraltar (from Arabic Gabal-Tariq, meaning Mountain of Tariq), whose residents frequently speak in Spanish and English during their conversations. Gibraltarians will often start a sentence in Spanish and switch to English halfway through, making it difficult for non-locals to follow. From Wikipedia under the

I am trying to find out what my spouse is trying so hard to hide Asked by girl36 - Tue Aug 19 06:15:52 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Unless they are text files you can not. You need to read them in whatever format they were created, look at the extensions of the files (the part of the name after the . like .doc) then do an internet dearch for that extensions to find the right program.

Q. Simon has difficulty in understanding spoken or written words. He also tends to talk gibberish and cannot utter meaningful sentences. Simon has most likely been diagnosed with: a) Broca's Aphasia b) Occipital Aphasia c) Wernicke's Aphasia d) Alzheimer's disease Asked by Seaim K - Sat Dec 13 23:02:55 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Relatively poorer reading and language comprehension, coupled with gibberish, or "word salad" typifies Wernicke's (or, receptive, or sensory) aphasia, These patients have very poor insight into their deficits and cannot accurately name objects without neologistic output. They also tend to have pressured speech. There is no concommitant hemiplegia or hemiparesis. Broca's aphasia (or, expressive or motor), on the other hand, has relatively preserved language comprehension (though not for lengthy or linguistically complex utterances or writing). Speech is usually "telegraphic", or without the function words like "if, and, but, the" etc. Confrontation naming is relatively preserved, as is insight into their speech and language errors.
