Re: OT- Spelling is out.
Oddly, I could read that without much effort.  Who knew spelling meant so little?  |

Re: OT- Spelling is out.
you mean you read it as if it wasn't spelled bad?

Re: OT- Spelling is out.
Woah. That was pretty easy to read. I can be pretty bad at spelling. But my typos are worse somehow. I tend to forget the Last letter -- "your" becomes "you", etc. And that does really spoil the flow of the text, although I often fail to notice.

FINELY proof taht I am not a bad spller. 
Honestly I read this faster than I would have if it was spelled correctly. I was like the words just were there for me. I think there might be something to this.

Re: OT- Spelling is out.
That's pretty slick. I could read it with very little problem.

Re: OT- Spelling is out.
Weird, it was weird at first but I could read it. This just demonstrates the mind's inherent ability to recognize patterns or unscramble them. Or something.

Re: OT- Spelling is out.
It may be a property of the English language only - most of the words are rather short.
Can anybody try this with German text ?
