Well, yes, a few, here and there - no more than 10. I was surpised when I
first started looking at this list that none of them were/are on here.

Reactions are varied, from "how boring" to "this is useful how?" to "wow, I
thought only I did that" to "man, I've wanted to try doing that."

Most whom I have met were not trained linguists.

Interestingly, I've never had anyone make such a discovery by looking over
my shoulder, even though I do work on mine using pen & paper. ::shrug:: I
just assume that those who see me know so little about language in general
they file what they see as "a foreign language".
