My favorite "other" is "tonic," an apparent confusion of flavored, sugary water with carnival-show patent medicine. It used to be pretty common, especially among older people, when and where I was a kid.Hmmm... so, do you speak with a New England accent by any chance?

You have a grammatical error. It's supposed to be:

The following post is from a friend of mine. Anyone have any ideas about it or additions to make?
Design is something we recognise if, in decreasing order of warrant:
1. We know the intentions and plan of the designer, or can reasonably infer it from context and a knowledge of the culture of the designer
2. We see evidence that the object was manufactured in a way not found in ordinary natural processes
3. If the object is a solution to a problem of means.
Complexity is not evidence of design because some designs are very simple (Corbousier), and because some undesigned things are very complex.
Life is not recognisable as design because we do not know 1, do not see 2, and have no way of knowing 3.
Quoted from: John Wilkins Philosopher of Science (biology)

Hmmm... so, do you speak with a New England accent by any chance? No, and I wasn't near any of the dots on that map for "tonic." But it was mainly older people and probably not that many of those. The setting was Western Maryland and adjoining parts of West Virginia in the 50s and 60s.

I forgot to add my contribution.
Specificity can only be determined if we know (1).

Has the Discovery Institute taken up the search for space aliens? DI supports ID.
That's looks even weirder when typed.

If I thought anyone really saw me like that, I'd never let them in the door.

That explains why it keeps coming and going on my screen.
I'll have to try again.
This reminds me of doing graphics on the old HP9000 mainframes with the pen plotters. Seems like there should be some kind of point and click action here.
