Regarding Spelling

[Bestatte]

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

You have a Klaive quote as your signature.

That freaks me out that I can read that without stumbling at all. I couldn't read it any faster if it was spelled correctly.

[CrystalTears]

Oh my god that was weird. I totally read that as though it were written normally.

[StrayRogue]

I told you we were smart :)

[GSLeloo]

I couldn't read that at all... each spelling error just stuck out. Like... it hurt my head to read it, I just wanted to get out a red pen and correct it!

I found research, not telling where, that all regulars of Player's Corner are Geniuses, with minimum IQ's of over 200.

Same here. That's pretty weird...gonna print this out and show it to people...see if they can read it with as much ease as I did.

[Ravenstorm]

Damn. I've always joked to people that I was good at reading typo. Add me to the list of people who could read that through at just about normal speed without a stumble.

I had seen that before. Freaky, is it not?:D

[Adhara]

Wow! English is not my first language and I could read it pretty fast. Maybe not *as* fast but pretty close!

[imported_Kranar]

I could read that just as fast as well.

It's quite neat but I wonder how something more along the lines of a Shakespearean line would be read if every word was spelled incorrectly.

[HarmNone]

Good point, Kranar. It probably works best with words we are accustomed to seeing in print. I will have to try it on something more difficult.

Oh, yeah! That is because we type by the word rather than by the letter, just as we read that way. :D

I called my 9 year old (as of yesterday) son to read this and he blazed right thought it. Totally freaked him out.

[Chadj]

you spelled important wrong.

The company that makes that new cologne FCUK must have read the same report.

[SpunGirl]

Actually, I think FCUK stands for French Connection UK. Of course, they still might have read the report.
