Hey tihs wired spnilleeg wulod mkae an inneristetg spceeh flie.

We have a similar problem with new words and deformations of existing word in Spanish.
Besides being distributed in so many countries that add their own regionalisms, we have may words imported by bad translations from English.

I suppose there are words that appear in the dictionary but are not considered correct speeching/writing in most Languages.
Well, there is a rule that says that the only Languages that don't change are dead Languages.

But of course that as Spanish spelling is phonetic, there isn't so much freedom to play with alternative spellings. And as words tend to be longer (though not as long as in German) we tend to recognize syllabes and parts instead of whole words.
