Yes very interesting, love it. I gear myself to always look for spelling errors on campus, can't get it out of my head. But yes we can always read the words intended...

I posted that a while back, however, I got an extensive research team (me myself and I), and we came up with this (I.E. I Did internet searches)

The examples work best with shorter words. The longer the words, the harder it is to read. See if you can read these. These examples should get harder to read as we go.

1) My nmae is Shnae form Oiho, Naotry Rratoy svaed my lfie, and now I mkae one gzilioaln doarlls a yaer. I aslo wtnaed to pinot out taht the elxapme is jeumlbd in a way to mkae it mroe radlebae. As you can see tihs txet is juemlbd usnig the smae relus, but is mcuh hadrer to raed.

2) Big ccunoil tax ineesacrs tihs yaer hvae seezueqd the inmcoes of mnay pneosenirs

3) A dootcr has aimttded the magltheuansr of a tageene ceacnr pintaet who deid aetfr a hatospil durg blendur


Answers:
1) My name is Shane from Ohio, Notary Rotary saved my life, and now I make one gazillion dollars a year. I also wanted to point out that the example is jumbled in a way to make it more readable. As you can see this text is jumbled using the same rules, but is much harder to read.

2) Big council tax increases this year have squeezed the incomes of many pensioners

3) A doctor has admitted the manslaughter of a teenage cancer patient who died after a hospital drug blunder.

Re: I'm sorry Shane: Korey why are

you sorry for posting something? It sure don't matter that someone else posted it first. If that mattered we wouldn't recycle jokes. Don't worry about hurting Shane's feelings. From what I can see, he has a bigger ego than yours.

Judy....

Thanks for the compliment Judy.

If it weren't for people like you, I woudn't be the person I am today.

See I've learned to deal with inconsiderate, unprofessional, jealous, nosy, rude, gossip kings/queens. There is always the people who don't feel like they fit in, so they make malicious statements about other people. If people like you weren't around, I never would have been able to develop that talent.

So I thank you for your comments. I'll send you a christmas card.

Re: Hey Everybody, Shane's sending Judy a Christmas card...

Am I on your Christmas card list, Shane? If not, I'm sure you will revise your list with my name on it. That's B-e-t-h. I know it must be just an oversight on your part to not have me on your Christmas card list. I'll wait for you to post the new and improved list.

Re: Judy....

yeah Shane, just send it to 100567 South Trailer Parkway, Swampville, La
It may take awhile to get there, the post office is afraid to rent pontoon boats for that section of town, so send it now.

Curious about this Judy....

Judy,

Curiousity at work here.

Shane's no angel, I am sure, but I have yet to see him be rude to a poster on this board.

That's the second swipe I have seen you make at Shane.

Why be mean to him?

Why Sorry?

Nah, I'm not worried about you reposting it. Theres a lot of things I wish were recirculated.
I can't see anyone coming onto the board, and searching for something OT, like that post certainly was.

I just appended to it, because that whole post caught my attention long ago, and I for some reason did research on it lol.... Must have been a very SLOW day

There's no such thing as a bad speller, only a poor speller

you can spell badly or poorly, but you can't spell bad <grin>
