Don't know what this is, what it's supposed to be.

 

 

I didn't get through the first sentance. My eyes were hurting.

[zaneymon]

that is so cool

[RCTfan]

Wow, this is VERY old. Its SO old I read it in an elevator before I went to college orientation last July. BUT, it is still amazing.

if you read it fast, your mind makes up for the fact that the letters are jumbled, as long as the first and last letter are correct

[memphish]

The first and last letter thing breaks down if the word is longer than 4

or 5 letters:

 

For epalmxe, a scneente bomeecs elmteerxy ducfliift to itrreenpt in tihs

citdioonn.

 

or

 

Autitbters lkie dbluoe cnatoonnss, prcalyiaultr oeredr lteetr

cfanoroinutigs, mdtnaiuge of sraaotpein of csnnatoons & vlewos,

sctccuneisns, fiatarliimy, & eiclelsapy ctxoent, msut rmiean srcouhyonns,

flainaiittcg atarpporpie ieieptartonrtn of agbmeseslas of lrteets.

 

(Attributes like double consonants, particularly ordered letter

configurations, magnitude of separation of consonants & vowels,

succinctness, familiarity, & especially context, must remain synchronous,

facilitating appropriate interpretation of assemblages of letters.)

I had no idea, this was new to me

 

very cool i thought

[CoasterCrazy]

That was awesome, do you have anymore of them?

[crispy]

^^^^ No

[Scaparri]

That was crazy! I'm not sure what else to say. That was just really neat.

[CstrzRock]

That was cool! 8)

I remember learning about this in English Language class at College.

 

So, provided we get the first and last letters right - does this mean we can now spell as badly as we like provided we get the first and last letters right?

^^^^ not unless you want Robb to hunt you down and beat you within an inch of your life

The emails were lovely and threatening..

 

I've seen it before and this time round I stumbled in a few places. But it is 2am here!

[crispy]

But it is 2am here

 

Then stumbling is allowed, I guess

 

The emails were lovely and threatening..

 

Well when you get a kid posting and miss spelling the post title HORRIBLY, its time to ACT!

[Homey G.]

that is so cool

 

Odd that HE would enjoy it, huh?

Im pretty sure that the college didnt come up with it, but I would bet someone screwing around did. If it was a study that was done by any college or professor(s), youd most likly find documentation on it.

 

 

Reguardless, it is true, almost completely, the whole thing with the brain being able to compute the mixed up letters.

 

 

The only problem is you need to know the words already in order to unscramble them in your head. If you gave this to a grade schooler they may not have any freakin clue.

[crispy]

^^^^ yes reading would be a requirment for being able to unscramble the words, also I'm sure if you asked someone who did not speak English, they as well would have problem understanding and unscrambling the letters

 

 

 

No I understand, you would have to have a firm grasp reading, so highschool and above
