Cool! What's fun is that it's even easier to read fast than it is to read slowly!

Gads....! It must have taken like FOREVER to type that!!

I find this very obvious.. When enough points of data are presented, and it becomes very easy to interpolate the data in between, our brain takes shortcuts because then it works faster..

The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? yeah and I always thought spelling was important! if you can read tihs forward it.

Funny thing it is indeed. It is often used in advertising here to draw the attention and hold it a little longer than normal.

ok, it took me a minute to figure out what was wrong, i literally didn't notice for a couple of seconds that the letters were jumbled up. weird. but then again because of severe dyslexia i cant tell if something is spelled correctly or not anyway. that was cool though!

I think this was something people at the university of Cambridge discovered a few years ago. I doubt only 55 in 100 people can read it though.

^^

I know I need to get laid. No need to remind me of that fact. XD
