No problem, but where's the limit?

Seven or eight letters?

I'll try a test:

I thought it was one of those Suomithreadi things at first, and that somebody had just forgotten the first bit. Drunkenness didn't even cross my mind...

I'm glad to see that you're finally admitting you can't spell. We've been getting tired of pretending that it was bad typing.

I think a large part of this is due to the context in which the misspelled words are placed. I mean if there is a whole sentence then you have more to go on.

Not if you keep adding extra letters, it won't.

Words alone are more difficult as well, since we often read by anticipating the next word. Especially when reading quickly.

It's a nice combination, though bad typing (or hurried typing) is the main culprit.

Prolly works better if the letters are displaced only a short distance from the proper position to gev some clue to the syllables. With "catasehicticrarl" the first r is moved at least 9 positions, which is far to confusing, etc.
