I can read it... I learned to read the "look see" method. For those people who learned to read with phonics it would be much harder (although they can spell)

I can read it too, but it's totally annoying. I learned to read with phonics, back in the olden days. I wouldn't spend time reading anything long spelled like this, though.
My daughter showed me this a few years ago. It really is interesting what the mind and eye can do.
I'm with you on the spelling - can't spell worth a darn but thank goodness for spell check! I have gotten this or something like this before and am amazed at how easy it is to read.
This seems to contradict the study it references. It says that only 55% of people can read it - that means that 45% of people can't! i can - but I agree, it's annoying.
I can read it, and read it fast..
it doesn't really bother me..I wonder why not? hmm..
luv it
When I posted that, a lot of my friends were worried and thought I had a stroke!!
That's the reason it's so darn hard to spot those spelling errors. Our mind is telling us everything is as it should be. Who (or what) can you trust anymore? LOL

I did have some problems typing this tho. :)
No trouble here! And I can not spell to save my life. May be a connection there.
