Phenomenal <- extraordinary or remarkable.

But then again, I think it would be harder to understand if the whole paragraph consist of words you are not familiar with.

[Drew2]

This has already been posted before. Like 3 months ago.

[Moist Happenings]

I'm not unfamiliar with the word. I just couldn't unscramble it. It was a little long for my brain to interpret.

[Shalla]

was saying in general.

<<Phenomenal <- extraordinary or remarkable.>>

Then you spelled it wrong in the first post.

Also, spelling has nothing to do with grammar, this has been posted, and anyone who reads typos all day realizes very quickly that they're easy to read but annoying.

Ugh, I am not even going to state how many times you have spelled things incorrectly. And the initial post is supposed to be spelled that way you miserable miscreant.

[Tsa`ah]

Want a laugh?

Talk to Bob in a chat or IMs after he knocks people for spelling.

Bob is teh suck at spelling without a check.

[Bobmuhthol]

I spell no differently in the game, here, or in Gaim.

I have absolutely no need to check my posts for spelling before I post them. Just like I have no need to check for spelling before I IM someone.

Edited to add: Whoever says something stupid like, "That's a sentence fragment!!1" that's how I type. I know it would have and probably still will happen.

If posting sentence fragments and making general grammatical errors while posting are "just the way you type", what gives you the right to correct others every time you get the opportunity, Bob? Perhaps, that is just the way they type. ;)

[Artha]

phenominal didn't work because you took the h away from the p.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<And the initial post is supposed to be spelled that way you miserable miscreant.>>

So the research was to see whether or not people can read misspelled words? Because as far as I know, the entire thing is proving that if the letters of words are arranged differently it's still able to be read.

So STFU, illiterate.

[Hulkein]

Yeah Bob has a point, someone who spells something wrong isn't necassarilly using the right letters like in this experiment.
