    That has been around for awhile now, but I have no problem at all reading it. P1M's posts are always interesting to read as I have to actually think about what he's trying to say. I hope he never changes.

    Interestingly, when I've shown text such as that to folks, I've found that people who don't do any reading on the computer (ie. public forums such as this, email, or messaging) often have a harder time understanding it. Folks that regularly spend some time online seem to have an easier time with it.

    That's probably because the computer users have to often figure out the mishmash that some people call spelling online.
