Szwagier commented on the word wrathful dispersion
"Wrathful Dispersion is couched in more cautiously neutral language; rather than tying linguistic diversity to a specific biblical event, it merely argues that the differences among modern languages are too perverse to have arisen spontaneously, and must therefore be the work of some wrathful (and powerful) disperser who deliberately set out to accomplish a confusion of tongues."
I found this here and it's simply too important a concept not to exist.
EDIT: the link to http://q-pheevr.livejournal.com/33337.html isn't appearing for me, so perhaps I'm not as HTML savvy as I thought I was...
