Pyrtte loco.

I'd say that reading other message boards were the spelling is actually that bad has prepped me into figureing out what misspelled word actually are

 

[Desdichado]

OK, that was frikkin' weird. Of course reading the really bad "engrish" posts one tends to get on occasion have partially inured me to the hazards of poor spelling and grammar, or even the complete lack of punctuation.

 

[Mercule]

Bzriare.

So, does that explain dislexia?

i'm with Joshua -- that was really weird.

i read that initial post exactly as fast as i would read it spelled correctly. the spelling didn't slow me down at all.

it wasn't even until i got to the end of the first line that i even realized there were misspellings in it.

Woah...that is cool. I DID read that as fast as normal, though I noticed the 'errors'. Usually with spelling, I go crazy and get annoyed...but that read normally. That's cool!

Pyrtte loco.

actually it doesn't work if the first and last letters aren't in the right place.

Yeah, you're right. I read that as "Pirate loco", which seemed to work too in context.

 

[BigFreekinGoblinoid]

Weird AND cool.

I read very quickly, so I wonder if I always do this. I always thought the reason I read so fast was that I read the words as images ( the same word always appears the same way ), but that theory seems to have just fowln out the wdionw.

My wife reads very slowly in comparison to me - I'll have to show her this and see what her reaction is...
