Have you ever said a word over and over again only to discover that repetition destabilizes your ability to pronounce the word correctly?

PLELP is a software application that predicts how many times you can speak aloud a particular word before you are unable to pronounce it correctly.

You enter a word and the software spits back an estimate of how many repetitions you will get too before you are unable to pronounce correctly.

I suppose the equation could be based on how many syllables and letters are in each word.

Ultimately here is a software application that supplies a legitimate reason to repeat the same word over and over again in public.

       [+] and the add-on that predicts how many times you can say the word before it starts sounding foreign or nonsensical to you. (what, that only happens to me ?)

       Yes, it only happens to you.

       <deep> It is in the repetition of the word where it loses its meaning. </deep>

       I wonder, then, if you could train the neurons to somehow be less susceptible to fatigue?   

       Maybe visualising the same object in different ways...   

       On another point, does anyone remember NESSAGUIN?

       "that human vocabulary is very localised in the human brain in that it can be saturated or depleted."   

       zowie another possible thing to study at monozygotic twins to see if the genetics of minimal phrase depletion are genes of better than usual cognition or possibly singing ability

       I chose a word at random from the idea. I started to stutter after repeating "ultimately" only 23 times. This is a very interesting phenomenon and I think it should be studied.
