crispy Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 Don't know what this is, what it's supposed to be 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memphish Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 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.)

Shockwave Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 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?

Real Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 http://www.snopes.com/language/apocryph/cambridge.asp 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 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 ^^^^ 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
