    lol. Why do you say only smart people can read it? Didn't the study say the human mind can comprehend scrambled words? Where did it say only smart people can read it?

    It's familiar, had we been given a true work of art such as the middle of War and Peace, then our minds would go: "what the hell?"

    It is pretty amazing how easy it is to read ... also, grammer does not make too much of a difference. It would be cool to do a study to see if people retained more info with scrambled words or if spelled correctly.

    Had no problem reading it. Didn't see it posted before, though. Must have missed it.

    That was weird.

    I've gotten some variant of this in so many emails now, I've made a new game out of it: I try to find typos in the misspellings. For example, there is a typo in the misspelling of the word "phenomenal" in giddy's post... ;)

    Can a dislexic who has been trained to read actually read it?

    Just barely. But that's because the world is spinning thanks to MGD.

    But normally, yes I can read it fine. I/ve seen this in emails before.

    This is funny. I read this post earlier this morning.

    I just read it again 3 hours later and noticed FOR THE FIRST TIME that you had similarly butchered the spelling along the lines of the example.

    There is no indication that you have edited your post so unless you posted moments before I read and edited moments after I read...
