Anosognosia may occur as part of Wernicke's aphasia, a language disorder that causes poor comprehension of speech and the production of fluent but incomprehensible sentences. A patient with Wernicke's aphasia cannot correct his own phonetic errors and shows "anger and disappointment with the person with whom he is speaking because that person fails to understand him." This may be a result of brain damage to the posterior portion of the superior temporal gyrus, believed to contain representations of word sounds. With those representations destroyed, patients with Wernicke's aphasia are unable to monitor their mistakes.[1] Other patients with Wernicke's aphasia are fully aware of their condition and speech inhibitions, but cannot monitor their condition, which is not the same as anosognosia and therefore cannot explain the occurrence of neologistic jargon.

It would explain much, wouldn't it?

That's interesting. Sometimes the truth is said in jest eh?
