Great...now the legions of mouth-breathers we've got roaming the boards are going to get even worse - as long as the first and last letters are correct, who cares, right?

I could also read it. I just started reading it without even realizing that it was a mess until I started getting into the paragraph where they started to explain.

It actually looks like a good chunk of posts here.....

The difference is that I can read that message and I can't read theirs.

that was weird, i just started reading it like a normal sentance until it became apparent that it was jacked up, ive seen that on a wall of jimmy johns before, i still dont understand how it works, but its cool.

Only 55 people out of 100 can.

Where is that stat from? I remember seeing this article in plenty of places, some were even a lot more detailed and i never saw that stat mentionned. I doubt the statistic is accurate, i still couldn't find anyone from my friends and family that couldn't read this so 55% sounds wrong. The 45% who can't read this probably have big reading problems even with proper spelling anyway.

Maybe from the Cambridge U study? I dunno. I saw this for the first time tonight and thought it was interesting.

97% of statistics are made up. 68.2% of the time when "a study" shows something, no study ever actually happened.

Well don't get me wrong, i think it's very interesting too. I was just sharing how i thought that statistic was pure BS. And i'm not saying you made it up, i was asking for your source to check for myself. B)

i can aslo raed tihs whiuot a porlebm, itnereitgsn

[pisani34 10]

what i find odd about it, is that even though it says that the first and last letters have to be in their respective spots, alot of the words in that paragraph do not follow. ie. FI=if, YUO=you....albeit they are shorter words that are easier the brain to "unscramble" but just seems odd that they do that, when the rest of the paragraph has 2 & 3 letter words being spelt out correctly.

reading it reminds me of my english history class that i'm taking...quick overview has shades of dusty documents!

well that was mean, I thought my post added much to this thread

[shifter 0]

learning short forms of words on msn makes it so easy to read that paragraph. Does that mean im smart if i can read that? :D
