wow. cool. i cluod raed yuor ernty wuohitt pboremls.
Ironically, yes, it did work for me. What does that mean?
yup – my qeuttison is – waht aer we all dinog up so laet?
(wow, that was hard)
Whoa. It works. That’s so odd. It almost makes spelling seem unnecessary…
Nah, I can’t let things go that far 😉
*snort*
Actually, what I have been taught is that to some degree, we learn and read by the shape of the word.
We used this principle when I was learning to read fingerspelling.
Very cool! Made me look twice this morning…I think I’m not awake yet! *LOL*
Wow. Acutlaly, I had no polbrem raiendg taht at all. Srcay!
Ooh, yeah, I could read it too 🙂 But I’m not going to bother to try to scramble up the letters in my comment – it’s waaay to early for that.
Toss me in with everyone else saying “how odd!” Once I switched mental gears and just went with it, I scarcely noticed the problems. Huh.
It wroekd for me! Tahkns for the psot!
that’s crazy! i could totally read it!
Interesting… do you have a reference to the original study?
Wow, I was able to get all of that. Scary.
Bloody hell! I read that with great ease … I should try talking like that …wait! I almost do. *grin*
That’s just weird!
I may have even read that post with more ease than others. The human mind is amazing.
Yes. Am I still normal?
Haha. I could read it!
I’ll say what I said on BlogDaddy (and I’m really being serious) that’s not too far off what words look like to me anyway! I really gotta get help for dyslexia, don’t I. One of these days…
Wow! I didn’t even realize that all the words were messed up, I thought it was only a few of them!
So everyone else thinks the same thing… I’m pretty amazed though. Who’da thunk our brains could figure out that mess?
scarily enough yeah.
I read that just as fast as I would with the words all being spelled correctly. Wired. (How about that? What if misspelling a word spells another one?)
yep
I’m amazed. I had to walk my PowerBook around the room so everyone could read it.
Wow… it just shows how smart we are 😉
that makes me feel a lot better about my horrid spelling and my psuedo dyslexia.
Wow! That is pretty crazy… I read it all just fine as well. Interesting!
and I thought I was just dyslexic…or didn’t have enough caffeine
After the initial confusion it was pretty easy. That’s pretty cool.
Amazingly easy to read…scary. I would say that I had to spell check no longer…but per this theory, I’d still have to get the first and last number correct. Therein lies the rub… 😉
I must not be as smart as the others, because that was quite difficult for me to dicipher. I had to think about the words. I had my husband read it, and he said it was just as easy as if they were written correctly, but to me, I had to correct the words in my mind, then I could think about what you were posting…. oh well, must be just me.
that’s f’in cool!

Spelling Does Matter
Everybody has seen the English research that suggests spelling is irrelevant. I’d like to strangle the researchers who did that…
