People who chronically misspell words cheer up, there is hope.

Typoglycemia

Makes you wonder a bit, doesn't it?

There are quite a few links via Google as well.

Interesting - I read that fluently.

I've seen that before and it's really quite astonishing.

On the other side of the coin, sometimes people misspel 1 word and it renders a sentence unreadable.

remove the correct grammar and capitalization, and i'd imagine it wouldn't work quite so well. some font sizes or colour schemes can screw with my ability to read fluently, due to some damage to my retina just right of centre. it causes the letters slightly to the right of where i'm reading to colapse into nothingness sometimes, and then reappear as i scan past them. it can be a nuisance, but the doc says my eyes are in better condition than most, and i'm just unlucky to have this blind spot in the exact place that i do. hmmph...

True fishy, still fun to read though. They should make books like that!

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." -- Toulouse-Lautre, Moulin Rouge

Without

1. Grammar

2. Punctuation

3. Keeping the first and last letters in place

It would fail miserably. Those are things that posts we speak of lack.

And also, who the hell really wants to read that? Spell correctly!

Actually, the sub-title of this thread needs to be "Those who like to pick on typos, pay attention." The word "whom" is reserved for Direct object use only.

To rememer where to use who and where to use whom, remeber this sentence: "Who is correcting whom?"

Who is the person doing, and whom is the person being done to. :biggrin:

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

ive seen this before, actually it got emailed to all of my high school english teachers and they showed it to us

by the way satchmo, i read your post with ease

the only thing that gives me trouble reading at a normal speed is 1337,
i can't stand it when i see whole paragraphs written in 1337

But Sierra is all over F.E.A.R...

Yeah I saw this a good while ago, I love these kinds of things. One
thing I noticed is that spellcheckers don't do that good a job on
correcting it, despite all the letters being present, its something
that could surely be used to improve them...

Also I'm amazed that those ever improving spambots haven't incorporated it somehow to get round filters...

*runs to the patent office and sets fire to the thread. MY idea, MINE!

One of the first thing a spam filter looks for is an abundance of mis-spelled words.

Ah, I read that about 5 years ago, lol! Its just psychological - your brain reads the word as a whole.

I would love to change the world, But they would'nt give me the source code.

Wow, you make it sound so simple, professor.

Quiet you. :biggrin:

I'm still sure there must be some kind of serious use for it concerning
beating computers. Who knows? Perhaps Al-Qaeda emails are full of such
typos...

Bet it doesn't work as well in japanese, btw. :razz:

Face it: if crime didn't pay, there would be very few criminals.

Hmm, the eaiml part confused me. I think it has to be e-mial.

If you can leave a letter out, then I can add one if I feel like it. :wink:

I always wondered what the hell "Zing" was.

Damn I'm slow. :sad:

It basically means someone got dissed, and that it probably stings a
lot (for Nickelplate in this case). Zing is like the sound of a
bullet flying through the air.

Yeah, I got that much, now. It just never clicked before. I was actually making fun of Nickel, not taking a potshot at him. Although, reading his reply could have been considered preemptive on his part. :wink:

Oh and it's not something serious, like a personal and angry insult or
anything like that, someone usually yells out Zing after one good
friend has a go at another.

If people are fighting for real, others usually try to stay out of the way :smile:

It doesn't sting..

He is just a poop-face for making fun of my Parkinson's Typos...

TIT for TAT my friend. :razz:
Is it even possible to blame Parkinson's for the same word being misspelled twice with two totally different letters?
