That's why it's so hard to read "n e" for "any" or "u" for "you" - the brain has to switch tracks and actually sound out the letters rather than keep reading the code, which, like DNA, doesn't have to be in the right order to work if it has the right parts.

All of this might also explain a lot about dyslexia.

I read about this on September 15th, via /.'s article, Can You Raed Tihs?

It's pretty cool, and IMNSHO, rather accurate; especially regarding digraphs. Of course, it doesn't work quite so well when you start breaking up complex phonemes (e.g.: ordered, interdependent phonemes such as "eau", and "ough". Argh!) , diphthongs, and the like.

Oh well. :roll:

Oh, and I love the hell out of this text scrmabling perl script. :mrgreen:
