Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde 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 be at the rghit pclae. 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 wonder if this works as well, worse, or better with ADD people?

Very interesting...... well when I was reading your post I had no problem, and I think I may have read it even faster than I would have read it if it were written normally.

[Keppig]

I had no problem either, how weird! My teens had a problem though. Interesting...

[Andrew]

That was cool...I wonder if I should start writing my Internal Memos at work like that?

[sleepzalot]

I had no problem either. Hmmm...Maybe the CIA needs to hire ADDrs as coders and decoders.

Ya but sorht wrdos aenr't mcuh fun!

though the substitution was great! weigh for way!

[joanrdtobe]

and "right" for "write".....!

[waywardclam]

You know I noticed that too... I thought I read it faster than if it had been spelled properly. I was wondering how the rest of you would react to it.

Of csorue it is a lot hadrer to atclluy wiert taht way! Tekas a LOT lgoner to mpsislel wdros tahn to dcodee tehm...

Remarkable! I'm asking myself if we were really quicker, or just not much slower (and much quicker than you'd expect). But it is amazing - even if you race through it, you get it just as easily as skim reading, suggesting you are doing no additional decoding at all.

Maybe we read it quicker because we do not waste time checking spelling (not that I would consciously do that very often, but I certainly have a highly engaged critical faculty when I read, and, depending on my mood can do a lot of unnecessary checking).

Id have to vote on the not checking spelling as when we write and do make mistakes , when we don correct them and someone reads it they get the jist of what were saying

instead of trying to change the letters around as were doing for fun we should just accept the fact that we dont spell worth a poop and continue to spell phoneticly as I do. I dont need to spell correctly as I have a machine that does it for me.

I think maybe that we are trying to hard to please the linear thinkers by trying to spell and gramaticly organise when we write.

When we are at home here and runing off with verbal diarrea we dont get excited about spelling and nobody ever corrects us so we are very happy to continue to post.

We are not self consious about spelling yet in the real world we/I spend more time trying to make my information and the format that it is in pretty so that some linear thinker who is reading it wont be critisizing me to all the other co-workers (behind my back )just to make themselves feel better.

Maybee its just my insecurity and emotions making me parinoid about it when I do a report but I dont think so as I have had someone point out my bad spelling and lack of formating before and the fact that we are even discussing it as a group then I tend to believe that Iam not alone in these thoughts

So I guess it once again goes back to we need to have a place in life where the linear thinkers will leave us alone and allow us to do what we do best as opposed to trying to get us to do there work for them so they can present my report to whoever and claim the credit as if they did the work

Negetive oppinion and emmotions setting in so time to end this post.

I think this is a demonstration of parallel pattern matching and word rather than sequenxe ID.
