Hi Phil!

Sorry, my English vocabulary and orthography are my real bottlenecks ;/
It should have been "diseased". It's a quotation of Terry Pratchett.
Some examples and the one I had in mind ...

"'Multiple exclamation marks,' he went on, shaking his head, 'are a sure
sign of a diseased mind.'"
(Terry Pratchett in "Eric")

"Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind."
(Terry Pratchett in "Reaper Man")

"'And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of 
someone who wears his underpants on his head.'"
(Terry Pratchett in "Maskerade")

Hope to helped :)

Alexander
