No, the thread title is not a typo.

Wow. Not a single problem reading that. Anybody with English as a second language have any trouble?

Dauphin · September 15, 2003, 23:59

Taht is frekaihsly esay to raed!

Dauphin · September 16, 2003, 00:01

I wonder how this impacts on dyslexia.

GePap · September 16, 2003, 00:07

Hmm, so as long as I get the first and last letter right, my horrid spelling can continue?

HUZZAH!

Poogas · September 16, 2003, 00:09

Hey, Victor Galis, do you also post at Pbreview.com???? just curious cause a guy by the name of Ellisd3e posted almost the exact same thing, not quite word for word, but pretty damn close.

http://www.pbreview.com/forums/showt...hreadid=172832

I use to post there all the time... that is untill I was banned.

GePap · September 16, 2003, 00:11

Hmm, does this work for long words?

Tsbsoitrnautanitasn

I don't think this works for very complex word at all.

Nubclear · September 16, 2003, 00:13

When I read that post, my reading was slightly slower.

So they lie.

Proteus_MST · September 16, 2003, 00:16

Wow,

GePap · September 16, 2003, 00:19

Can anyone read the word I used?

Timexwatch · September 16, 2003, 00:20

This schtick has been sweeping the internet in the past two days and has been around various blogs for months. This means all your bsae blenogs to us!

Transubstantiations.

Dauphin · September 16, 2003, 00:29

Some complex words can work well. Anyone who plays Countdown and can work out the conundrum in less than a second will know what I mean.

I either get complex anagrams straight away or not at all.

No, but I admit I copy/pasted this from an e-mail I just got.

Shi Huangdi · September 16, 2003, 00:35

Damn. I thought Victor had finally gone out and gotten drunk.

Victor Galis · September 16, 2003, 00:36

Haha... I don't like the taste of alcohol. It'd be pretty hard to force myself to get drunk.

Bosh · September 16, 2003, 00:37

wow, I got transubstantiation too, I think some of the letters in it were in the right order....

how about:
migmoanuaans

Bosh · September 16, 2003, 00:37

hmmmmm, this also helps explain the beauty of drunk threads...

Skanky Burns · September 16, 2003, 00:45

My first thought when opening this was "drunk thread".

The problem with drunk threads is that my typing doesn't get worse. Where's the fun in that?

rev · September 16, 2003, 00:47

Big Crunch: Dyslexia affects any of the letters in a word, not just the ones between the first and last. Beyond that, though, it would be interesting to study it.

Jon Miller · September 16, 2003, 00:47

that is really really cool

Jon Miller

Bosh · September 16, 2003, 00:55

testing with co-worker confirms that people who speak english as a second language can read Victor's statement. Had a little trouble with a few words, but 90% OK.

Victor Galis · September 16, 2003, 00:58

Yeah, I'd think words that are unfamiliar would be more of a problem.

Try bvoehove

Some are probably going to see it right away, otehrs...

F! (you shouldn't have any trouble reading that!)

Same here. Cool

GePap · September 16, 2003, 01:11

Actually, the word I used is transsubstantiation. Boshko, you missed an s, and BC misplaced an s.

Frozzy · September 16, 2003, 01:52

I think it actually affects the context & first and last letters.

Thus it is hard to read single letters but easy as to read them in a sentance

alva · September 16, 2003, 02:18

No real problems here

Isn't this more or less the
the same as when placing
'the' twice in a row and not
being able to spot it and correct it?

Ecthy · September 16, 2003, 03:54

yes it's wnirkog for me too, ncie

Sirotnikov · September 16, 2003, 04:48

Hey this is cool.

At first I thought you were drunk, but it is nice.

I didn't get GePap's word because it IS too long, and I didn't know it.

I got the second long word (magnamoneous no?) but didn't get the third one.

This is utterly cool. And I mean utter, as in the part of the cow where you get milk from.
