Spelling. A key to "speed reading".

[Will]

"Without a problem" would depend on what you would define as "problem". There is a small subset of the population that gets little tweaks whenever a spelling or grammar error is encountered in a text; a lot of these are employed as writers and editors. Some have it worse than others. There are definitely a few people I know that would scream after only a few words of that, and would then frantically search for a pen (preferably red) as the page prints out.

For me, it depends on whether I am skimming or reading something. If I'm skimming, I'm not really looking at the words, I'm looking at the sentences and paragraphs. If I'm reading, it's kind of like I have a 50-year-old man in my head reciting the text in a nice baritone. That or a speed junkie trying to speak so fast that the words mush together. But whenever I'm actually reading, I tend to notice the spelling errors, and to a much lesser extent, the grammar errors. This past week at work, I needed to extend some code and make it work with programs I was writing. Throughout the entire thing, there was a variable that was spelled "recieved" instead of "received". I lasted about two minutes before needing to do a Search&Replace.
