Can you read this? I was utterly amazed when I could... it's all a mess though, right? Shouldn't be able to read it... but you can.

Fascinating, right?

Had this a few times on the emails, quite good though.

I agree, it is surprising but have read something like it before somewhere. Makes one wonder why anagrams present a problem, surely the same principle would apply. I forgot, the first and last letters should be in right order. Ah well, another theory bites the dust.

Don't think the water would do much good for my keyboard though Peter!!!

I've seen it a few times and it never ceases to amaze me.

I think the theory behind that study was something to do with dyslexia/word blindness.

[hdflred]

It's very easy for me as I'm dyslexic all words look like that to me, and certinally my typing and spelling does!

[Moonbeam Angel]

I got this message in an email (thought it looked familiar) but apparantly not every one can read it, there are a certain number of people who can't

(I haven't found any yet though)

I was utterly amazed when I could read it... I've always been quite bad at telling people off for spelling mistakes and grammar and punctuation*, so I was a little disappointed when I saw it didn't really matter.

LOL.

* even though I know I can make mistakes myself, lol.
