Funny, I'm reading a book about just that kind of thing at this very moment, THE MOTHER TONGUE. I'd have to skip back a few chapters to review, but Shakespeare is unsurprisingly the prime offender.

It's long been a grammatical term for the past tense of a verb. (It's also spelled "preterit.")

It seems pretty clear to me that this is an effort to throw off Bayesian filters like spamassassin uses. But it's the oppposite of what is proposed in the article. The goal would be to have people label these messages as spam and then have their spam filters "learn" that spam looks like this. In the future, then, they will be more likely to mark regular sorts of english messages as spam and become unreliable. Instead of letting bad messages leak through, the goal is to make the filters catch good messages, which is way worse than letting bad stuff in. You'll happily use a spam filter that catches 99% of the bad stuff and none of the good stuff, but you'll drop a filter that lets through 99% of the good stuff and sends 1% in with your trash. You have to sort through ALL the trash to find the good messages you missed. Only once have I ever had a non-spam message sent to my spam folder and that was a surprisingly sexually explicit message from a relative stranger.
