CA2OR Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Interesting enough....55% of people out there can read this....the other 45% cannot. What's more odd....the people that could read it read it at the same pace they would if it was written correctly. Let's see what our percentage is.

According to research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. i guess im in that 55% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 it's kinda crazy though....I actually can read through that line as if it was written correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Based off our votes we are higher than average based off of their results.....but if you base the "yes" votes vs the view's.....we may be a bit lower than the average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaticEngineer Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Also, those people who frequent internet forums with a high number of children under the age of 15 have much more practice at reading posts with large amounts of grammatical errors, at least in my experience.

siskiou Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 But first you have to have learned how to read with the words spelled correctly, for this to work. I don't think you can teach anyone to read anyone, with scrambled words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBirkett Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Can you read this At first I thought your 6500+ posts in a year have caught up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I am slightly dyslexic, so most of what I read looks like that to begin with... LOL There are several words that I have trouble with... Country vs. County. Spelling the word "the" always comes out "teh" and some others. It makes it difficult sometimes, and it really comes out when I am not well rested. Spell checker is my friend. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
