Really interesting! I read that with no problem and English is even not my mother tongue!! Amazing!
I’ve seen that before. It’s fairly amusing :)
I read that with no problem either.
I didn’t realize that we usually just scan for the whole word.
Interesting.

I’ve seen this one before, and it never fails to entertain me. :)

I actually did this in my journalism class, its why its so hard to find typos and its called typoglycemia, lol
First time I’ve seen that and read it no problem.

The whole eye-brain connection & how it processes patterns is a cool thing indeed.
Wow!! I read that without a problem.
Fantastic!

Wow, I didn’t know the human brain could do that, although it does explain how I always miss typos on my blog until its too late.
Yaeh, I arege. Vrey iietsretng.
That’s pretty cool. I just read the entire paragraph with no problem at all at the same speed I’d read a correctly spelt paragraph. I guess that’s just another point for the people at Cambridge
Yes. Interested. However still a struggle for me to read. Now I must uncross my eyes and slam my head against a moving hummer to readjust my dmaged brian.
