I've seen this before. Very interesting how true it is that you can read and comprehend it even though almost every single word is not spelled correctly.
annette p. Jun 19, 2007, 11:28am EDT
i think i have a great mind too, i can read it instantly, and its amazing,,interesting too, who did this and i think whoever it is, its great.

I can read it. Kind of brings to mind why my Autistic son is so good at reading. He can memorize whole phrases and paragrahs and recite them back word for word.
Kim J. Jun 19, 2007, 11:30am EDT
Since over half(55%) can read it, that doesn't make a "great" mind, that makes you with the majority of the people. Yes I can read it.

I can read it and as quick as any other paragraph.

Neat.

Laura C. Jun 19, 2007, 11:31am EDT
I have seen this before too. I've also seen studies where you can remove most of the vowels and still be able to read the paragraph.

Not only can I read this, but I have read others like this. I teach English to college students.
This is one I recently saw: CHEWSING for CHOOSING

I've always loved this. It truly is amazing.
Nyota *Star* Jun 19, 2007, 11:42am EDT
I could read it with no problem. But when I first discovered it, I thought it was something everyone could do. The hard part for me is writing that way.
Sue D. Jun 19, 2007, 11:57am EDT
That is interesting. I am glad to hear the comment about myth busters. I would imagine most people could read it.
Joan D. Jun 19, 2007, 12:03pm EDT
So if most people can read it - that means it is only a sign of having an Average-to-Mediocre mind, no?
Joe Corso Jun 19, 2007, 12:22pm EDT
That was too easy, didn't have to think about it. Do something little harder next time!!! I'm not joking!!

Being dyslexic I guess I have the upper hand ;)
I love these things...
Thanks for sharing!
Larry H. Jun 19, 2007, 1:12pm EDT
i have seen several of these now, i can read it
Matt O. Jun 19, 2007, 2:00pm EDT
cool- and i did forward it!
Well yes I can, thank you very much. Have seen this before. It's interesting how much we challenge ourselves to read something such as this, but at times don't challenge ourselves to read a book
Joe Corso Jun 19, 2007, 3:55pm EDT
Sorry didn't notice, I'm supposed to forward what or to who. Do you want a translation or make my own up and forward it to people?
Kristen D. Jun 19, 2007, 5:21pm EDT
I've seen this before too, but I still think it is really neat. And yes, I can read it with no problem and as fast as I read anything else.
Jack C. Jun 19, 2007, 5:45pm EDT
You would make my 5th grade teacher cry. She patiently sounded out words for me, because by the 5th grade I was spelling exactly like your article. As you can see I do a little better now. And that apparently means little in the greater scheme of things.

The human brain weights three pounds and most of it is devoted to involuntary and unconscious activity. Its amazing that we do so well with so little. I'd like to see a computer follow programming that was equally jumbled. LOL

I had no problem reading it at all...and it is hard to figure that one out! This was fun.
Melanie S. Jun 20, 2007, 11:07am EDT
Hehe, no problem reading it at all. But I don't think most people would have problems with it. I think I'd agree with Myth Busters that the % is probably higher than 55%
samantha b. Jun 20, 2007, 12:37pm EDT
This is awesome & yes, I can read it! Thanks for sharing it! I am need of an another group moderator for Email Goodies to help me out if you are interested the details are in a group article titled A Second Group Moderator that is featured within that group. I love this article of yours!

It just looks like a really bad typist did it.
donna h. Jun 20, 2007, 9:34pm EDT
lol!
chris w. Jun 20, 2007, 10:23pm EDT
The 55% number is probably pretty accurate considering only about 60% of graduating high school seniors can read at a 5th grade level or better...........So 55% of people, probably = about 95% of people who can actually read,,

Teh aduincee for wtirres si srnkhinig fsat.

Read that?
