I'm a horrible, uttery hopeless speller, so I tend to read the whole word anyway and not be frustrated by the spelling.... I could read this without slowing down. Super pitiful. :::sigh:::

Guess I'm #44

Oh yeah. I could read it. At speed. Sigh.

Heheh... but it seems that the study says that most humans can read it with little problem. You've still got to spell things with the first and last letters in the correct positions, so it doesn't forgive most bad spellers, unfortunately.

The human mind is just better at doing things without our knowing about it... which may be kinda good or kinda creepy!!! Hard to say!!! O__o

Yea, a longer one went around a while ago via email, and since I could read it, I tested the rest of the group. The more logical and super spellers of the group had a LOT of trouble reading it. And some words, especially long ones, they couldn't figure out till I prompted them.

Some people are good spellers
