John,
What is that stuff? You lost me after "The."
You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash It's only music. -niteshift Mike Dunbar Music

John,
What is that stuff? You lost me after "The." I can't remember; maybe you're normal if you can't read it.  No, that can't be. I don't have any trouble reading it.  John

This is also why you can often read a street sign from a long distance away. You might not be able to make out the individual letters, but you recognize the grouping.

No problem reading it, here. I'm not prepared to be normal, though. This comes as a bit of a shock. ;-)

Fascinatin' Readin', John! The only line that gave me Problemos was the OPENER... Maybe 'cuz I don't like reading sentences in ALL CAPS...?
I think the Distractive Power of a SINGLE Misspelled Word is also kinda-incredible, too...to those who CAN spell.
Real Interestin' Paragraph there, Amigo~

Well, that only works if you already know what the words are. If those same researchers had used a lot of uncommon words that are not in the average reader's vocabulary, the reader wouldn't have a clue. The brain is so fast that it will sift through stored knowledge of various words and also the context in which they are used to decode the words.

Funny; I think what's even more interesting is how many people opened this thread to check to see if they're normal. I guess that's normal. Now all we have to do is define "normal". Best, John

The difference is those words you listed are not in any context or gestalt that we can get clues from... let me choose one of your words (as written) and place it in the same type of context as the example...
If you crafily ylerousf tehn you pevnert the need for disouagbiamtin.
I bet most folks get that quickly now, even though it's not exactly a common word... your final word (which is more common) will be grasped even more quickly...

Yes, I agree Jean; this premise necessitates familiarity of words and reasonable sentence structure as IdeaMan pointed out. John

Jean you quoted me in between edits... oh well no biggie... I wouldn't say it was a hoax... the basic facts of the situation remain the same... just some disambiguation happening there to clarify details...

Great job, IdeaGuy! LOL, now unscramble the other words. (If I hadn't scrambled them myself, I probably wouldn't be able to figure them out.)

I don't know where this idea originated. I saved it quite awhile ago. Whatever its origin, I found it interesting. I wouldn't call it a hoax. It obviously achieves its premise, within certain limitations. John

Didja know:
Yes! as we speak! The English Langugage has just aquired it's one millionth word. Reported on CNN. The English Language is a combination of several languages has the most words at least that is what they are reporting.
I hope that is right, rite, wright, ah what's the use.....

This is not a hoax. Kids use a similar technique all the time when texting. The less letters and words used the cheaper the text is to send.
CU@8 ETC ETC.
The brain recognises the patterns and context of letters and not so much the words. You get to expect what the next word is when a thing is in context it is only when something is new or unexpected that this rule fails.
