==Digi-Speak== A further element of ''Digitiser'''s other-worldly charm was its unusual take on the [[English language]]. Often this amounted to little more than using "the" in unusual places or adding curious suffixes to existing words (including, but not limited to -uss, -O, -ston, -Oh! and -me-do), but occasionally invented whole new sounds using words that never been used in that context, such as "[[wikt:huss|huss]]" becoming an exclamation of joy. Using tramps as similes ("That's like putting lipstick on a dead tramp and calling it a supermodel"), the phrase ''moc-moc-a-moc'' and irrelevant sentences which read merely ''"And!"'' were all elements of the ''Digitiser'' lexicon. It was common practice for ''Digitiser'' to mock the names of contributors to its letters page. Generally, the more obvious the better (for example a reader with the surname "Major" could well find themselves being referred to as "[[John Major|John]]"). Notable bits of name-calling included ''Digitiser'' viewer Matt Gander being rechristened "non-shiny goose", and a Mr. Tedesco being called "Safedeway", alluding to supermarket chains [[Tesco]] and [[Safeway (UK)|Safeway]].
