...HEY!
While working on the previous post, I noticed something that had slipped my prior attention - mainly because I was not thinking that very hard about it.
In addition to my middle name Antares (the rival of Ares, id est, Mars) spelling "ant arse" with the switching of two letters, something I long knew. It can also spell "ant ears". And if I kept going, then I'd could also get phrases like "tan ears" and "tan arse", "ran east", "sane rat", "sane art", "sane tar", "sea rant", "sat near", "are ants", 'rats Ena", so on and so forth.

| Ant, Ares, arse, ears, tan,... |
Now that I've taken the time to notice, here are even other words embedded within like "eat", "era", "Etna", "Nate', "neat","net", "nets", "rate", "rates", rent', "rents", "rest", "Santa", "Sara", "sent", "sear', "seat", "snare", "Stan", "star", "stare", "stern", "tares", "tase", "taser", "tea", "tears", "ten", "tern", "terns", but which can make little or no use of the remaining letters to form a meaningful or coherent phrase.
Okay...
So now that I have duly noted the presence of the word plays and smaller words possible, I can move on. (I'm sure my obsessive-compulsive disorder hasn't exhausted them all - Stop that, OCD!)*
;-)
-FIN-
*I’m kidding about the OCD. I only have a touch of compulsive behavior; just a smidgen. Nothing full blown.
