Hey gardengrl! I've seen that email before and I remember when my DS *who is legally blind* was younger and had a vision therapist working w/him. W/magnifying tools etc, she taught him to read script looking at the first and last letter of the word along w/the shape of the words. At the time, I thought it strange, but it works.

He graduated his Jr year and at the top of his class b/c he didn't want to use Braille. So, hope you can all read my typo's here. Thanks for sharing.

It's the same kind of mind power used by musicians when reading a complicated score. Our minds are so remarkable (DM's notwithstanding), what an amazing thing is the human brain!

Just try some time to enumerate all the different items you have memorized in your lifetime!

My brain damage is in the form of legions of lesions from MS. It hasn't really caused me too much trouble yet, mostly just stalled vocabulary and lack of concentration. So far, I'm able to overcome it but if you ever hear your phone ring at 4:00am, it's me calling to tell you that I remembered the word or name I was searching for. ;)

First of all, the Neurologist said my brain is quite remarkable and second~~Thank goodness for Caller ID. :D:mf_argue::ROTFLMAO::ROTFLMAO::ROTFLMAO:

I didn't have trouble reading it. I can only guess that the way that the letters are presented our brains use different areas to actually interpret and understand it. Does that sound logical?:p

gardengrl 04-22-2009 10:47 AM

I don't now, I can't understand how I can Screw up a sentence that's correct,.. but get something so Screwed up right? lol

lor 04-22-2009 01:38 PM

It seems all you need the 1st letter, to glance at the letters & to notice about how long or short the word is.....and I guess, to have seen it before (if you live in a city that I never heard of & you scrambled up the letters, how would I know the real name?).

Kitt 04-22-2009 04:15 PM

I've seen something similar before. I had no trouble reading it without having to stop and figure it out.

It's kind of like when you type. It's the way I was taught. You do not sit and think of every letter that you type. It just comes out as the whole word. I don't have to look at what I am typing either as I'm sure many do not have to either. You just type it. And if you are reading something from a paper that you have to type, you look at the paper and type as you are looking at it. You don't have to look at how it comes out. I'm just able to do this as others are as well.

The same with playing the piano or organ. You just play; you don't have to look at the keys.

hmmm, but Kitt, would you be able to type that giberish as well as typing the actual words?? Do you think you could type at the same speed & correctly?

Probably not. But......I know when there are posts that have spelling errors or letters transposed I can still read them. I notice the errors but I still know what the word is that they're meaning to type. It'd be harder to try and consciously type words with spelling errors I think.

Not sure. Would have to try it:wink:

gardengrl 04-23-2009 08:29 PM

If you ever get around to it, I would LOVE to know how that goes....I haven't a clue as to why I am so drawn to this??? I'm feeling "angry" or "aggravated" knowing I can read this possible BETTER than real properly spelled sentences!!

I really have so many crazy things going on right now & don't understand the connection I feel to this silly thing!lol

This is cool, I tried it, and nope! Can't do it! When I looked at my own typing, my mind spelled and punctuated correctly. I tried doing it again, super slowly, and it made me nutso trying spot the "wrong" letters/sequences.

I am a robot!:eek:

BlueMajo 04-28-2009 09:49 PM

Oh wow, funny, interesting, thanks !!

I could read it too ! ;)

Thanks for trying that! I'm NOT a typer so couldn't do it myself...Your results are what I figured:rolleyes: Our Brains.....so wierd......even those with Brain injury have read this.....so far, everyone I have shown can read well...

EXCEPT, mom:(...she is very well educated, with extensive knowledge & vocabulary.......She was the one to call if you needed help finding the best word to use in a sentence...:D

She could NOT read even a word of it? She has the ability to read books still, although she usually does not remember what she read....{Alzhiemer, Schizophrenia,Lewy Body Dementia}

What is also interesting...my brother-in-law speaks SOME english,,,he had no problem...his native language is Egyptian....:eek:

Thanks for all the input....would LOVE others to try it and post results!:grouphug:
