What do you think of this study? Were you able to read the paragraph without any problem?

lol ok some of you smart A $$E$ didn't seem to get the gist of the paragraph. Even though you were clearly able to read it you some of you failed to understand what exactly it was that you read I suggest you reread it and take notice that the first letter and last letter of each word is correct with only the letters in the middle of the word MIXED UP NOT CHANGED to different letters. I am so absolutely horrible at spelling
that I spell check everything before I post anything on the net . That is why I found this so interesting.

I'ev raed tihs brfeoe wtouhit tbulore and aslo was azeamd.
I noticed though that if the same basic word construction is not kept, it's more difficult to decode the words. Example: my sentence. I wrote "without" as "wtouhit". If I'd mixed up just a couple letters it would have been esaier ;) to read.

Just so you know, it isn't a real study and not only smart people can read the sentence. The human mind can read words as long as they still begin with the regular first and last letters and have no extra letters mixed in. Often, the only exceptions to this rule are people with some form of learning disability. Srory if I reunid yuor fun.

Okay, I could read the paragraph...but didn't like it at all. I am a terrible speller, but I can always tell when a word is misspelled as I type/write it .... and usually when I read it. If you just glance at the paragraph you wrote it looks like gibberish...much like trying to read a foreign language you don't know.

Yes, I think we've just about covered that subject. It has been posted many, many times on this site. We can all read it without any problem.

mm yes i've seen this before. this is because the same first letter and last letter in the word stay the same. did you notice? that's why we can understand, just becasue of the first and last letters! :)
