For let us remark that the environment of the young child who acquires language spontaneously, as explained in Chapter I , is such that error has little or no chance of surviving; the persons with whom he is in contact are providing him continually with accurate models of whatever the dialect may happen to be; he is given no chance of imitating wrong models, and he is not intelligent enough to create them himself in any appreciable degree. — from The Principles of Language-Study by Harold E. Palmer
This tab, called Hiding in Plain Sight,

spelled out by the first letters of consecutive words.
