hi SC too
heheeee
I couldnt agree with this though:
>The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm.< I mean that must be harder to read, even if a little. Yes we can read it, but its like driving over a bumpy road. Still I was amazed, yea, that I could read it. heh.

Site Coordinator,
That's amazing. I was able to read it without any problems. I thought it had to do with my experience as a technical editor, but after reading everybody's responses, that's not it at all.
Kudos to our amazing brains.

Hi SC,
Very funny--thanks!
It is remarkable how we can read such messed up text. It kind of explains how chat speak is so popular.
It also reminds me of how they discovered that good typists can type literally faster than ought to be humanly possible. Turns out that a person does not first intend to type "Dear Sir" and then think of how to find "D" then "E" the "A" and so forth. Instead we think "Dear Sir" and send a command to retrieve the motor sequence that types it.
Speed reading is similar--you don't read a word one letter at a time or a line one word at a time. Instead you try to gaze at large chunks of a line and identify words and phrases by their context. For example if you are reading a buisness letter and see "T* W**m I* M*y C*****n" near the top you "expect" to see "To Who It May Concern" and your mind fills in the text kind of automatically.
I have been dreaming of a kind of super word processor that uses those principles to let non-typists "type" really fast--a sort of "style processor..."

I work in special education, and I've seen this exercise in many workshops I've attended. I read it very easily the first time I saw it...but, then again, I have been reading the handwriting of dyslexics for 20 years 😉
