Actually, I did and at the same speed as I normally read. Same with the second passage.
this only works part of the time and only if yo know the correct spelling
Try butter and batter
The brain is lazy and take short cuts
I didn't do so well with the second passage. The numbers screwed me up. But then, I can't read text-speak either.
If you are a slave to dictionary spelling, then you might have a hard time.
If you are loke ohtres throughout most of human history, and there was no concensus on spelling, then you could read it easily.
With civilization (spelling wise) comes dumbing down.

boohoo Will, Filters arent fool proof.
Will, you idiot. Read the article already. You have to leave the first and last letters in the same place. "cna" doesn't work...at all, simply because it has three letters. "Yahe" doesn't work either. It goes on and on, but I think the others can catch them.
Very interesting, as Arte Johnson used to say. But it still doesn't legitimize all the misspellings in posts on this or other sights.
Sites! As in, locations.
me preferred sites as in another web page to read something for news... doesn't have to be on another websie computer at a different geographic location.

I had to laugh. It was interesting, I didn't have a problem reading any of them but I did giggle at the:
Was the lack of space between onlythought another test? All in good fun.

Really? Was bringing politics into this really that necessary just for a cheap (unfunny) joke? Freakin' trolls.
The spelling isn't any worse than what I usually see from the far left ghetto trash people that post on here.
I wonder if the construction of the language matters? Does this also apply to Pictographic languages(Chinese, Korean, Arabic, etc)?
Arabic isn't a pictographic language :)
So, a lie is not good context so in order to lie well one has to add context to the lie so others can better perceive it?. In other words, it is hard for an outsider to lie to a group of people until the outsider add context to the lie? Hmm, how do we tell if an insider tells a lie ? How does one train the brain to perceive context that is not true and judge that the deciphered message is a lie?
Remember, in engineering it is better to have a workable lie, than an unweildy truth! LOL
Is that like using an hypothesis in a scientific process? It's not just engineers you know, heh heh
One doesn’t consciously see anything that is written, typed or printed on a piece of paper or a PC screen. Only their eyes see it, and like 2 video cameras, they transmit that “sensed” data directly to the subconscious mind via the Optic Nerves in a multi-bit (pixel) parallel format.
Upon receipt of a per say “frame” of sensed data the subconscious executes a per say “word search” of one’s stored memories for a “best match” to the input data and whatever that “best match” turns out to be, if anything, the subconscious will retrieve/recall any “linked” data associated with it (aka: the meaning of the “word”) and tell the conscious mind (aka: posts a “thought” in one’s conscious mind).
Thus, when one reads those words with transposed letters, the “best match” thought that is posted to the conscious mind is the “meaning” of the correctly spelled “word”. But when one is reading a “sentence” the next word in sequence is used to determine said “best match”. This is easily demonstrated bananas by your reading of this vanilla very sentence. HA, did you notice your conscious thoughts were “interrupted” two (2) times when reading that previous sentence. And iffen you mix them up and put those words with the transposed
letters in “list” form, it might prove frustrating in trying to figure out the correct spelling of some of them.

This is only one reason as a reading teacher to point out the importance of contwext and reading blocks of text as opposed to word by word.
Actually it isn't. Whole word and block text reading is an end result, not a process. You must teach word by word phonetic reading first, and allow the sudent to develop naturally into the end result. Trying to cram the end result in before the process is learned retards the advancement of the student.
th3 fakt thet wee baleeve en tha gov't story ov evereething shows hour levil ov intellagents
witch makes won wund3r about the importance that p3pl3 seem to place on spelling - - why the heck does it matter if people know what you are saying --
certainly when explaining complex or technical information a misspelling could result in misinterpretation but that is a very limited context, yeah?
The occasional spelling error or typo is unimportant, but when someone makes basic mistakes like the ever-present your/you're or they're/their/there, it's instinctive to question the education level of the writer. I see that and I automatically discount the value of the message; right or wrong, it's human nature.
By all means, write however you like, but if you want the maximum number of people to take you seriously, you need to use correct English.
Actually, questioning someone's education level by their spelling is quite preconceived, maybe even prejudiced.
Not really, we are all pretty guilty with making impression judgements on others. Face to face you may look at their clothes and figure (correctly or no) what their style of life is, or judge someone by their occupation. Likewise on the internet you can and will be judged by how you type. If you type with a massive amount of spelling errors, or in 'text' speak, one may not take you as seriously as another who types with correct spelling. I'm not saying it's right, but it's human nature. My spelling is pretty bad for the most part but I do make an effort, I don't see why others can't.
Which explains the premise of speed reading, you skim and mentally eliminate verbage, filler, so you get to the jist of what you are reading.

Ack!!!! As an English teacher, I am now having a nervous breakdown!
We have spent centuries perfecting the art of language and it takes less than three decades of computer use to completely screw it up; and you wonder why our kids are falling behind the rest of the world academically?
Probably because "lolgood" teachers are straight-up refusing to let kids learn from technology more advanced than @!$%# printed on paper.
There is nothing 'advanced' about l33t or Lolcat speak. It may be cute from time to time but it's certainly not advanced, you won't see too many jobs hiring people who fill out an application in those forms of language.
Jeff Hawkins in his book 'On Intelligence' discusses this very thing. The pre-firing of neurons in anticipation of a preconceived pattern is very interesting. Apparently new, unexpected perceptions trigger higher level processing to make sense of the new information creating new patterns in the higher level processing - learning, Another is when you enter a situation which you know will be novel, a room in a house you have never been in for example, and the 'this is different' circuitry doesn't fire immediately becomes the 'deja vu' experience.
So I heard you liek mudkipz?
I could read that just fine, it's just that the little voice in my head will change depending on what I'm reading.
So im a natural brainiac!? I want a raise damnit!
