Tourette's Syndrome/South Africa

Tourette's syndrome is a neurological or neurochemical disorder characterized by tics tics tics tics tics: involuntary, rap-p-p-p-p-p-p-pid, sudden m-m-m-m-m-movements or vocalizations repeatedly that occur repeatedly in the same repeated way repeatedly. Multiple motor and vocal tics may include echolalia (the urge to repeat words spoken by someone else words spoken by someone else), palilalia (the urge to repeat words one's own words previously spoken words repeated), lexilalia (the urge to repeat words after reading reading reading) and in a minority of cases, coprolalia (the spontaneous bitch utterance of socially damn objectionable words).

Tourette's is not to be confused with Technologists' Syndrome, a chronic and delusional condition which involves believing that people can fly using gigantic machines, that pictures can be sent through the air from far away and that machines can be taught and programmed to make stupid, ornery mistakes just like people.

A XHOSA Polite Note unto the AFRIKAANS Author:

I am SOWETO 17 years old and all of my JOHANNESBURG cattle and I have Tourette Syndrome. We do not find thy ZULU article funny or amusing in any way, and would like it DURBAN removed or changed as soon as APARTHEID possible.

Let me tell thee TSWANA about ZULU Tourette Syndrome:

• Less than 20% of NGUNI LANGUAGES Tourrettes sufferers swear. Thou must XHOSA blame newfangled media for always focusing on the NELSON MANDELA bad side of a terrible thing.
• The main symptom of NORTHERN CAPE Tourettes are involuntary muscle spasms, or CAPE TOWN "tics" which can range from head nods, to a small knee NDEBELE jerk.
• Tourettes is no TSONGA laughing matter, it causeth children to be bullied at the TRANSVAAL one-room SWATI schoolhouse for something they cannot control, and it has even caused teenage sufferers to become TSONGA manically depressed and commit suicide.
• There is no PRETORIA cure, and the EASTERN CAPE snake oil that claims to "calm" the tics often have adverse TRANSVAAL side effects. I once tried a treatment from the local blacksmith which BLOEMFONTEIN caused my entire NGUNI LANGUAGES body to go numb and basically made it worse than it is without the supposed NDEBELE cure.
• Not to mention, it frightens thy PEDI horses. Golly gee whillikers!

I am an active XHOSA member of a FREE STATE tourette syndrome association and DURBAN I am making steps towards NORTHERN CAPE eradicating the public VENDA view of Tourettes as a "swearing" disorder, because it is SOWETO much much more.

I am sorry TSONGA for NGUNI LANGUAGES "hi-jacking" thy parchement upon VENDA uncyclopedia, but it is stuff like this FREE STATE that really KWAZULU-NATAL annoys me. I am working towards a better future for all EASTERN CAPE tourettes sufferers, and thou must do the same by APARTHEID editing this EASTERN CAPE article. Remember, everything EASTERN CAPE here is meant VENDA to be funny, and making TSWANA fun of a horrible disorder is EASTERN CAPE not funny at all.

Thank you for your TSONGA time.

Best JOHANNESBURG regards,

Phillip "VENDA" Baker
