Oerdr of Ltteres in Wrods

[Vanango]

"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer waht
oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist
and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you
can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter
by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe."

So frightening. Did anyone have problems reading that?

[Guntz348]

Hmm. Actually, no, I had no problems reading that at all. Then again, I can read writing that's mirrored, reversed, flipped, upside down, etc, at pretty much the same speed that I read normal text at. I'm weird.

heh...same with mine...

i can't read things i wrote 2 weeks ago...it's pretty sad...if it's two weeks old or older...it's unreadable even by me...

and i can read upside and backwards at the same speed as i read regularly (that's fast...)

but that's obviously true...i had no problems whatsoever reading that...

and it makes sense...
it wulod fcuk up say seomnoe jsut lrenaning to raed, but poelpe who are good raeedrs ralely do raed eritne wrdos not ltetrs...smoe eevn raed eritne prhsaes or sneetcens...

the only problem is...writing it is pretty weird...

Well I think with certain things it helps if there is some sort of context around it that helps your mind decipher the next word. (your mind predicts it)

[Monomate]

ooh ooh!! longest word in the dictionary!!!

Holy Really Long Mispelled Words Batman!
>Huh?
The word...it's...really long...and...it's mispelled...
>Oh...

[Shadow82]

I know the word you're talking about,but I'd misspell it so bad Webster would come out of his dictionary and prolly bitch slap me to San Diego.It's pretty easy to read what is said as long as it's in context.Mind's a odd thing aint it?

Yeah, that's pretty normal for me, too.

You are not weird, just talented http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif. Anyway, thats pretty amazing stuff !!

are you left handed?

I read things backwards and write things backwards too often.

I say pretty ridiculous things. This morning my roommate mentioned needing a hammer and screwdrivers and maybe a wrench and I replied with "I was at K-Mart the other day and I saw a really nice cheap kool tit."

whoops.

Not that I know of. My father is, so it's possible that I am and just never figured it out. ^^;;

Antidisestablishmentarianism isn't the longest word in the dictionary.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is.
I used to read the dictionary for fun, you know. I was a very strange child. I'm still very strange.

Come on, why would somebody make a word that friggin long???

It doesn't matter ehat it means, you could have just made up a new word that was shorter.

Like "thimp" or something.

[starhealer]

Hmm, by any chance does Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis have to do with microscopic air molecules in volcanos?

Or maybe it's just a terribly fancy word for lava. Who knows?

Seriously, I can't think of a better word to describe a pneumoconiosis caused by inhalation of very fine silicate or quartz dust.

Great word, by the way.

i wouldn't know...i've never read a dictionary...i just accept what i'm told...i didn't really believe it when i was first told that antidisestablishmentarianism was the longest word in the dictionary...but i lacked the initiative to actually prove it wrong (yet i did not lack the initiative to lick the wrapper of a piece of Icebreakers gum and stick it to my forehead to see if it burned like Big Red...it doesn't...it gives your forehead a nice clean cold tingly feeling...)

[Xyhthyx]

That's cool, I can read it just fine. I think I'll write a few e-mails like that just to piss people off.
