I cant remember you ever asked (and my memory is not that
far away from total recall).

It is more about finding the matching words. It is a good
way to "spice" a language with extended vocabulary, or to
learn a "foreign" language (like I still learn English).

I am a "partial autist", and block aligned text is faster
to read and evaluate for me than the common right aligned
text (in *.DOCuments with variable width font I generally
chose "block align" for formatting). Hence, I always for-
matted text documents by using matching words or cheating
with fillers like *fat letters*, "quotation marks", and a
few other tricks. You may call it a "tick" or - in a more
scientific sense - "Savant Syndrom". (This is not limited
to retarded people, only. )

Obviously. Too much honour, anyway... ;)
