Couldn't believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenomenal power of the human mind, according to a research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. T rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem.
This is because the human mind does not read ever letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? Yeah and I always thought spelling was important. If you can read this pass it on !!
Tell me if you could read the above texts?
I can read the above texts.

That is an old trick and one has to write the spelling rightly to make an acceptable word but it is always easy to know the words when it is randomly spelled excepting for the first and last letter. Now a daze people R using figures 4 words, thanks to SMS economy. In due course no 1 may bother 2 do it straight at all.

So long as the first and last letters are in the appropriate place, you can read this pretty well without thinking. It seems that mind is trained to recognize key letters and that is what enables everyone to decipher your cool code.
Kinda makes spelling errors a moot point, doesn't it?

I've seen similar, and it's pretty fascinating.
But, I give you credit: your intentionally misspelled passage was much easier to decipher than a lot of the postings on Y!A...
