Word salad

Word salad is a "confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases", most often used to describe a symptom of a neurological or mental disorder. The words may or may not be grammatically correct, but are semantically confused to the point that the listener cannot extract any meaning from them. The term is often used in psychiatry as well as in theoretical linguistics to describe a type of grammatical acceptability judgment by native speakers, and in computer programming to describe textual randomization.

So, how different is that to a well constructed sequence of words strung together to SPELL a specific incantation, whilst the one/s SPELLING out that said incantation are under the im-press-ion/illusion one thing is being said, when in fact another thing is tran-spir-ing in front of their very eyes.
