Exactly! How else would we understand Carl, Jacob and certain other

I think that university have done that test in local pubs in England. It
might have worked there.

Hmmmm...I found that some things that I read (that made sense) flowed
easily, yet some didn't and were harder to decypher. For instance;
If uyo drae sith ubledjm, it isn't oto rahd to phdecier.
However,
Wot ktorces xginmi lamsani thiw fepecofots rae oto ndik iwth keosm.
See what I mean?
I think it has to do with anticipation?

Course... they did a study on the BBC with everyone ringing in... We
recognise information and patters based on letters, words, lines and even
paragraphs.

Yes, and the reason why the original post worked well is because it
started and ended with the same letters the normal word would've.
Jumbling the letters often leads to not being able to get it (Without a
pattern).

He said to change the letters between the first and last letter of each
word. It looks like you have changed the first and last letters of each word
too. I was half way throught the original post before I realized he did
that. It worked for me :)

Very cool find, I understood every word in your post. I think I could
probably understand every word in the English language, as long as the first
and last letters were in place.

I was able to read that text withouth trouble, but english is not a very
logical language, so I guess that helps.
Just think of the way one pronaunce "ghoti"

No, but it does have to do with the fact that if you scramble similar words
your brain can't tell the difference.

i think yall are getting it wrong, the first and last letter have to be in
place, the middle letters are the ones to mix.

But, when the words get long enough, you need to have the letters in the
right order
Sep 13, 2003, 9:36am
I see your point but maybe not in the exact right order. I think as long as
each syllable starts with its correct letter it wouldn't be ahrd to see:
"Msianthorpsit" says "Misanthropist" which isn't a common word, but that
word would be much more read-able in a sentence where you knew the context
of it. I also think sets of letters that makes sounds like "th.." help if
they are left unjumbles.

that's because the basic position of each letter did not change. if you
completely scrambled the middle part, then you wouldn't be able to
understand it at all
Sep 13, 2003, 9:52pm
ok, thats because this only works with words the mind is fimiliar with.
