I'm too lazy to look if there were control variables, but I'd how so. Otherwise, not worth my time.

This is likely because we have laws attached to the real spelling of a lot of words; if you call something Milk on the label, there are requirements for what’s in the container. If you call something Milq, you can put anything you like in the container, and it usually signifies that there’s been a substitution for something the FDA would be unwilling to call Milk.

Krispy Kreme, for example, often isn’t crisp and contains no cream. I have a theory on why they’re called donuts instead of doughnuts too….

There was one woman who had a crappy British accent after a stroke and she even changed the word “dress” to “frock.” So it’s more complicated than just having pronunciation that sounds similar. The brain is attempting to copy a foreign accent.

Yeah, sorry to be so pedantic. I recently learned that fact about copper mining in North America and it blew my mind a little so I had to comment.

There are so many wild and crazy neurological disorders and afflictions. But for some reason, foreign accent syndrome really blows my mind. It doesn’t compute. I could reason slurring, a lisp, stutters even….but FAS makes me glitch. It seems so bizarre, even though I know it’s serious and the causation(s)behind it is serious.

I hate when they say they developed certain kind of accents. What happens is their speech is afflicted in such a way that it sounds like such-n-such accent

There's a rather long history of epidemiology showing an association of periodontitis with systemic chronic diseases, and the main candidate mechanism is that bacterial lipopolysaccharides, one of the most inflammatory compounds known, circulates from the gum to other tissues.

An older review, but still worthwhile:

Kaur et al, 2016. Unraveling the link between periodontal health and cardiovascular diseases. J Dent Sci Oral Rehab, 7, pp.28-35.

I'll admit to not having the best oral hygiene, largely because I haven't had any dental issues for 30 years. I brush maybe once a day. Floss once a week. But when I encountered the evidence on periodontitis and CVD I bought a bottle of Listerine and keep it in the car. Swishing Listerine around my mouth became part of the morning and evening commutes.
