    Heh.. No problems reading that here either.

    Does that mean we're **gasp** normal?

    Hello no, Rhi....especially not you. It means that you are typical in this particular instance. That is all.

    I think you have been taken in by a very old email rumor, that, while entertaining, isn't true.

    And no one should take this as an excuse to spell poorly!

    While it is interesting, it doesn't really prove anything. As adults, we've been reading for some time. We are able to use context clues in the sentence structure to get the meaning of the words. Our mind expects a certain word to follow. However, this doesn't mean that proper spelling is unimportant. Proper spelling is very important in learning to read and in learning new words. How many of us remember our elementary school teachers telling us to sound out the words? You can't sound it out properly if its not spelled properly.

    Yeah, it's true- but there are some fundamental rules you still have to follow in order for it to still be readable.

    I mean, firstly the words still need to begin and end with the letters that the original word begins and ends with.

    Also, it has to be the same length as the original word. I've seen that same thing with each word having one less letter than it was supposed to and it's almost impossible to read, heh.

    But yeah, it's still really interesting
