[butters]

trouble comes when your eyes are trying to focus on one word or sentence but the brain's trying to assimilate the entire contents of a paragraph.

Finally... somebody who writes-in-Stengelese...

“I stayed up last night and watched the Republican Convention all night long. I watched all of them talk, and listened to them and seen them and I'm not interested in politics. If you watch them and listen to them you can find out why.” -Casey Stengel

We already know this.

Plus, we would appreciate it if you look at your keyboard, in the upper right hand corner, there should be a light with the label 'Caps Lock'. This light is on when you have pressed your 'Caps Lock' key, located on the left side of the keyboard.

In the future, when you post, please press the 'Caps Lock' key and make sure the indicator light is off.

Mkay?

Thanks.

Hey, Einstein, I've got a tough one for you. Why do you think the Cambridge research is true? What is it about the human brain that would explain that ability?

I'll wait.





























































Answer: Years of repetition by educated people spelling the word correctly. The correct pattern of letters has been ingrained in long-term memory so that a minor change in the pattern does not result in confusion. That's why spelling matters.

Why thank you Col
I had the same questions.
I love random bits of useful information and was hoping someone would do my homework for me.

I read that last century somewhere.

To change all caps to lowercase, C&P into Work, highlight the text to change, hit Shift + F3 until the desired style is shown. Like so:


aocdrndicg to rscheearch at cmabrigde uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. olny 55% of plepoe can.

What the hell does it matter if she cut N' pasted two measly lines of text in caps?

Come on man, you really don't have anything better to gripe about?

Also, I like this newbie, so you fuckweasles being meanie ass bitches to her need to back off.

It's a slow day at Lit, nobody's posting porn, I was educamating, and I'm tired about griping about Sarah Palin.

Plus, they took it in good humor, which is rare in a newbie, usually they scream we are mean and disappear forever.

So, I also kind of like the newbie.

I'm still not sure how this relates to grammar though. The spelling is off but the commas and periods are placed correctly, aren't they?

There are learning disabilities where people can't process a word unless they read it one letter at a time, but I'm sure the study only included "normal" readers. (And that's not a snark, just something I know from working with students with learning disabilities.)

 

[Ham Murabi]

I think we'd better be pretty fucking careful about who we discuss grammar with.

It's refreshing to see I am not immune from your indignant rants. I was beginning to feel left out.
