Unfortunately, the term 'spamglish' appears to have already been coined. In any case, this is one of the better examples I've seen. If you aren't a fairly fluent English reader, I'd imagine this is a bit difficult to read. One needs to convert 'bosoks' into 'books' using both the context and the fact that a) there's no common English word spelled or sounding like 'bosok' and b) removing the 's' from 'bosoks' makes a common English word. Some might think it was meant to be BoSox, or some might spend time looking in the dictionary for possible words, or thinking it's slang.

I'd also venture that there's a good chance the perpetrator is right-handed. Assuming they used a mouse to click the insertion points of each word, they appear to have used their right hand to hold the mouse and their left hand to type in each inserted letter. The inserted letters are mostly from the left side of the keyboard, and most lefties hold the mouse in their left hand (I believe).

My next exciting post will focus on a funny comment I saw on someone else's blog. I'm also going to begin rolling out a new feature: Friday Roadkill Blogging.
