It doesn't completely work for me, but it is surprisingly good!

Dear GL,
Someone posted the same sort of thing a while back. I think it's ture. It actually isn't very hard to read. Like reading only the first and last sentences of a paragraph. If those make sense, don't bother with the middle.

Seems to work. Most of the time. However there are enough cases (same letters, same start and end) where things could get confusing.

I eernetd her bdoeorm. Could mean two entirely different things. :)

Two meanings for the price of one sounds like good value to me. I wonder if the idea could be extended to give two different short (very short) stories.
 
Jenny, it means True, this is all just a recent study I've read about too, I'm partially dislexic, only when reading, and only when reqding very quickly (so like 1 out of every 150 things I read occasionally jumbles, but mostly, it's names, unique and hard to initially prounounce names, I misconstrue almost all of the letters, except the first and the last.)

I have a lot of respect for this study, and which did you intend Sugar, Bedroom, or Boredom? Mwahaha!

Anyway, I prefer to do subtle messages, like:

So, how in the fcuk did we flal for tihs siht in the fsirt pcale?

PS. Not mocking you, just the system of first/last letter same, rest different.
 
Let me tell you, for a person like me, with full blown dyslexia, that text was not hard at all to read. In fact, if i don't focus my mind like hell, all I can see anyway is the first and the last letter in most words. The rest are having a part mingling around in between. :rolleyes: But that's quite ok, since I have learned to understand most writing that way. It's only now and then when a word or passage is unclear that I hace to concentrate.

Maybe I should call these guys. I might be an interresting subject for further study. :)
 
Fun, but come on lets be real. It is still easier to read when the letters are in order.

I am sure glad they won't let you post a story like that!
 
This must be a real bummer for the guys who write spell-check programs.
