I have to say I noticed that your letters were all mixed up. I do my best to read every letter because of my Dyslexia if i miss a letter there is no telling what my brain will come up with. It likes to add letters to some words on its own at times. Which can be a real pain in the neck.

Nope, no one reads every letter, perhaps except for kindergarteners and others who are learning to read English. This is because, to read fast, your brain recognizes the shapes of words and the first/last letter of the word. This is why I can still understand what you wrote and my friend's emails - all of which contains these weird letter-mix-ups. =P

I've gotten this in e-mails before, and it seems to be true.
That could explain why, when we proofread our own work, we can miss errors because the brain doesn't "see" the mistake.

I have had various e-mails like this and I can understand them perfectly well.
However, for those who have learnt to read and write, it would be quite difficult to actually WRITE like this!!!! Especially to a touch typist.

I did not find that difficult to understand at all.
I wander if that is how dyslexic people see their word's.
Now theirs a thought ......
