Somebody needs to take this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oef68YabD0

And snip in "I'm Joe Biden and I malarkey this c'monman" at the end.

Its beginning. I have a family member with full blown aphasia as one of the symptoms of dementia. As the dementia progresses the grammar fails and the patterns become all messed up. No way back from this, its only going to get worse and the stress over the hard drives is speeding it up, apparently.

It gets a lot worse. The pacing and grammar go away. It becomes very difficult to express the most basic requests and ideas, then the speech center shuts down completely.

I was referring to aphasia in general as dementia progresses.
