Oddly, I could read that without much effort. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif Who knew spelling meant so little? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

you mean you read it as if it wasn't spelled bad? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Woah. That was pretty easy to read. I can be pretty bad at spelling. But my typos are worse somehow. I tend to forget the Last letter -- "your" becomes "you", etc. And that does really spoil the flow of the text, although I often fail to notice.

Honestly I read this faster than I would have if it was spelled correctly. I was like the words just were there for me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif I think there might be something to this.

That's pretty slick. I could read it with very little problem.

Weird, it was weird at first but I could read it. This just demonstrates the mind's inherent ability to recognize patterns or unscramble them. Or something.

It may be a property of the English language only - most of the words are rather short.

Can anybody try this with German text ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif
