Pretty wild how the brain processes info, huh? Our brains are such wonderful computers, but we struggle to do the most basic things somtimes.

For what it's worth, T7, I had a helluva time reading that.

IMO, researchers mostly care about continuing their research grants - results can be BS for all they care.

The human brain likes to cheat and will take the first and last letters and interpolate from the shape of the rest of the word. If the shape is too far off from a word that the context might include the brain won't process it.

Not really paying attention when I opened this thread, as soon as I started reading I figured it had to be Cam. Not until I got about halfway thru did I realize that even Cam doesn't **** up that much!

Well, in fairness, T7's a good typist. So technically, on the average, maybe Cam does. ;) :laugh:

What does that say about me then, that I seem to be the only person who is able to read Cam's terrible typing?!

That was actually easier for me to read than this:

Spelling checker

Eye Halve a Spelling Chequer

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
