[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Kira"]I think "I like anagrams" is way more subtle than the other way.[/quoteost_uid0]
Although I'm rather pleased with myself for managing to come up with such a succinct phrase, I do think Kira's alteration was closer to being on the right track. But I still don't like "I like anagrams". It's too...unremarkable, too dry. I think something more elaborate is needed, even if it's just the addition of one word. Like

[quoteost_uid0]Morpheus: I really like anagrams.[/quoteost_uid0]
or
[quoteost_uid0]Morpheus: I feel that anagrams contain great spiritual significance.[/quoteost_uid0]
or
[quoteost_uid0]Morpheus: Anagrams are a hobby of mine.[/quoteost_uid0]

Oooh, that last one in particular might have some potential...[/colorost_uid0]
