The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. I find this very interesting? Has anyone else here done controlled experiments with this?

YT2095 Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Oh good greif! it`s almost tempting to say that the next post that gets started off along or on the same lines, gets instantly trashed. else we`ll end up with a site that`s 50% good data and the rest as this post! LOL maybe if this put on the main page and made sticky for all to see, it`ll be less likely to occur AGAIN! )) as in Yes We DO KNOW about this,,, enough already!
iglak Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 there was another e-mail that went around a while ago about the english language that i never saw. it wasn't like this, it was about replacing the letters c (k s), qu (kw), x (ks z), ph (f), and things like that. and the farther down you read, the more letters are replaced to make a much easier language. can anyone find a link to anything like that?
gene Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Heh... i actually don't know this stuff. Cool! Thanks Squintz. it is new to me. Interesting. Indeed. But why does our brain work like that? Any idea?
apollo2011 Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 Who the heck spent the time to jumble those letters??
NSX Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 I was just thinking. Maybe this is b/c of all the notes we take, and how it looks atrocious. I think teachers teaching primary grades would have this skill best since...welll...writing is barely legible haha
