Seen this one before

And yes I can understand. Considering I have to read my own writing I should be able to understand greek.

[Brendocon]

I've seen that about once a month for the past year...

"the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae"

"first and last letters are" not "letter be"

We study that in Human Computer Interactions at Uni.

[Predabot]

Hey, that acctually works! I gotta try this with some of the blokes.

[Señior's Covenant]

I love things like that. Wierd, that's the third version of that I've read in the past month. Cool stuff. Had no trouble reading it.

[saysadie]

I've had at least two people show me this marvel in the past eight months and I've known about it for a year or two, from the first time I was shown it. It is pretty neat, though. The human mind's a strange thing.

It's all in the context, isn't it?

Like why censors block the entire word, rather than, say all but the first and/or last letters. If you've got an idea of the context, and you've got a few clues, you can predict what the missing word is.

[Kaylee]

That's true. We looked at some shapes that look like they could be different words, and depending on the context in which they were used one tends to interpret them differently.

iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist

you did what to impactor?

[Autobloke]

Dude, this all screws with my dyslexia big time. I have enough trouble without people jumbling words up for me (no, it doesn't work in reverse, so that stuff spelt wrong looks right to me). Most of the time I just skim over the sentences and assume the words or I'd be here all day (this is why I sometimes make a tit of myself here when I misunderstand a topic). Then if something doesn't make sense I'll comb back over it until it does. It's a bitch sometimes.
Besides, if I want the read badly spelt stuff I just go over to Don Murphy's chat for moron typing.
