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?).

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

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!

Thanks for trying that! I'm NOT a typer so couldn't do it myself...Your results are what I figured 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...

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....

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

Oh wow, funny, interesting, thanks !!
