randomizing letters

Hey people, I just wanted to share this with you. I find it very
interesting, albeit more in the sphere of psycholinguistics. As a
non-native-speaker of English, I also hardly noticed the
randomisation of letters.

Have fun!

randomizing letterZ "... randomising letters in the middle of words
[has]
little or no effect on the ability of skilled readers to understand
the
text. This is easy to denmtrasote. In a pubiltacion of New Scnieitst
you
could ramdinose all the letetrs, keipeng the first two and last two
the
same, and reibadailty would hadrly be aftcfeed. My ansaylis did not
come to
much beucase the thoery at the time was for shape and senqeuce
retigcionon.
Saberi's work sugsegts we may have some pofrweul palrlael prsooscers
at
work. The resaon for this is suerly that idnetiyfing coentnt by
paarllel
prseocsing speeds up regnicoiton. We only need the first and last two
letetrs to spot chganes in meniang."
