Order of the Stick Haley-speak

[Turjan]

Most of the words in that paragraph are only like about 4-5 letters long, which means that the most change a lot of those words see is a simple switch [like mind to mnid] so the shorter words aren't TOO difficult to read.

Perhaps, we are trained for this. Switching letters is the most common typo found in documents. It is generally known that this kind of typos goes usually undetected; I know this from many of my own unsuccessful proofreading attempts .

Denwa arimasen. Just kidding, I don’t know what you said.

I used to speak a little Nihongo but it left me. Just like my two years of high school French and two semesters of college Spanish… Que?

I’m quick to learn but I forget just as fast.

You should hear my attempt at Gaeilge.

I think you replied, "There isn't a phone." Very Zen of you.

Actually, I was able to read most of the last sentence fairly quickly, but by that point I think I had already figured out what you were pretty much trying to say and I was able to fill in the words much more easily, another little trick of the brain.

As a rspecies we use less than 10% of it. The possibilities of what the rest of it can possibly do are beyond our comprehension.

You messed up species. For the trick to work the FIRST and LAST letter have to be correct.

That was unintentional.

And you can't add additional letters or take some away. That's just plain mean, though fortunately the research with an extra c and h wasn't difficult to determine nonetheless.

That's a myth.

I was just gonna say that.

I thought he said "Phones do not exist"
