we have become accustomed to race through our daily routine to accomplish more. reading images rather then actual words, is an example of such

I teach speed reading courses for a brain based accelerated learning company called Quantum Learning. What I have learned in my research and direct application with regularly skilled readers is this: (1) our eyes look for meaning–this includes when we read; (2) meaning comes from our eyes recognizing shapes and patterns; (3) the more we read, the more shape and pattern recognition skill we gain. Therefore, this activity would not be as effective with beginning readers or slower skilled readers. Also, people with more adept visual skills will be more successful and quicker to be able to recognize the reordered words. The ability to decipher the reordered words will wholly depend on the brain and eyes looking at them.

Is this still going on? I’m almost positive that this email has gone round the weblog circles last year. If I remember correctly, some weblogger made an experiment in how fast this meme spreads by putting different versions of that misspelled paragraph in his weblog.

I agree with Peter in that I, too, have noticed more spam using this concept to avoid spam filters.

As long as you know most of the concepts and words which are supposed to be represented and they are in a somewhat logical order it works, but confusing high level literature becomes unbearable when juxtaposed. Its still cool though :)
People still do take the time to tell me that my websites suck for poor spelling…perhaps they only notice because they are mean people?

Note that this phenomenon shouldn’t excuse poor spelling. Take, for example, Keith’s sentence:
“I gesus I can sotp wroring auobt my selpling mtiskes now.”
The words “worrying” and “mistakes” were hard for me to read because he’s actually missing letters. So words can be jumbled up, but they have to have all the appropriate letters in order to work. I’m not trying to single Keith out. I’m just pointing out something relevant. His sentence just happened to be a good example.
As for the responses that contest the phenomenon, I’d have to agree with them. Certain combinations are very difficult. Though it is cool that such “readable” paragraphs can be made in the first place.
