We study word structures of the form $(D,<,P)$ where $D$ is either$mathbb{N}$ or $mathbb{Z}$, $<$ is the natural linear ordering on $D$ and$Psubseteq D$ is a predicate on $D$. In particular we show: (a) The set of recursive $omega$-words with decidable monadic second ordertheories is $Sigma_3$-complete. (b) Known characterisations of the $omega$-words with decidable monadicsecond order theories are transfered to the corresponding question forbi-infinite words. (c) We show that such "tame" predicates $P$ exist in every Turing degree. (d) We determine, for $Psubseteqmathbb{Z}$, the number of predicates$Qsubseteqmathbb{Z}$ such that $(mathbb{Z},le,P)$ and $(mathbb{Z},le,Q)$are indistinguishable. Through these results we demonstrate similarities and differences betweenlogical properties of infinite and bi-infinite words.
