amnesia

For the second sense: "A defect of speech, from cerebral disease or trauma, in which the patient substitutes wrong words or names in the place of those he wishes to employ." Which sounds suspiciously like the person who created the article meant "aphasia" -- perhaps specifically a confusion of Wernicke's aphasia with Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome? -- Keffy 01:49, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

That sounds like an effect of cerebral palsy to me. ~ Oh by the way there's something wrong with the tea room I already brought it up in the GP no one has responded. Randy6767 02:33, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
