Yes, interesting. Easy enough to read. I wonder if it's easier for

folk who read a lot.

to prove that what it says in the text is correct, that it is the brain that looks at the whole word and not the individual letters, I have given this to a number of people over the years in differing countries, whose first language is not English, but they speak and read English pretty much fluently. They too were able to read it without a problem, though one or two did stumble on the word phenomenal as it was not a word they were familiar with.

Be interested to know if this works in other languages (which in theory it must) perhaps someone could try putting together a Turkish paragraph for our Turkish reading members to try.

Cheers

Apparently the brain works in such a way that providing the first and last letters are correct it should be quite easy to read.

It's actually quite easy to read if you also take out the intervening vowels...

It may be easier to read to those who have already read it several times on the net.

If you take out the volwels, it's a bit like speedwriting, which was supposed to be a lot easier than learning shorthand, and almost as fast.
