    What is really scary is that I understood what you wrote.

    me too doc

    i understood it too

    it says

    according to researchers at cambrige university it does not matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place, the rest can be a total mess and you can still read it with out problem,this is because the human mind does not read every letter by its self but the word as a whole.

    thanks

    That's the goal those in power are aiming for, to make us sound alike and think alike. Notably to think and talk the way they want us to and not question anything. They seem to be slowly succeeding. Heck, if they create much more apathy they'll be able to eliminate elections without a fuss.

    @kiltimabar: Amazing, I can read an understand Your article. I know that I'm very fault-tolerant at reading. That's my gift and malediction. If I had been a child of rich parents anyone whould agree I'm dyslexic. Sometime I leave out single letters or entire words in a text without notice it wihle revision.
    Though You did not use dialects, vernaculars, slang and acronym. Otherwise I would have some difficulties.

    You will all help me and others by hook or by crook. I'll carry on learning.
