I hate this thing.

1) Spelling is too very important. If I didn't know how the words were spelled in the first place, then I'd be pretty clueless what was trying to be said. Also note that the misspelled words are using the letters that are in the word when it is spelled correctly.

2) It's not the 'world as a whole' that's being read, but the entire sentence, paragraph, and grammar (which is pretty good in this paragraph) that gives clues to the meaning of each word.

3) I'm not sure what is meant by 'not a problem' because I certainly didn't read that paragraph with my normal reading speed.

4) This is an interesting mind experiment, but it seems more like a lame excuse for poor writing skills. (Not directed at anybody! Just a general annoyance with the original purveyor of this tripe.)

I can read it pretty well actually.

Even if you isolate the words you can still read them unless when the letters are rearranged they have different meanings.

Gawd that is so sad that I can actually read that....guess I'm used to reading posts made by so many internet tards that type like that.

Don't get me started on spelling. I could easily be asked to leave.

Hmmm, I could read that faster and with more ease than regular spelling.

I'm a posting tard BTW. I'm sure you all know that. I make spelling errors and typos and tend to hit the "Add Reply" before I proof my post.

It makes it harder for a mild dyslexic to read and most likely impossible for stronger cases.

I had to LOOOOOOOOOOOK at every word longer than normal.

[Deadpunk1187]
