That’s craaaaaaazy!! I was able to read it at the same speed I normally read! Very interesting!
But yes, I believe spelling does matter. After all- the only reason why our minds are able to read the words- even the way you presented them above- is because we first learned the word with their correct spellings. So our mind automatically puts the letters in their correct place.
Right? lol

bandit is right, but to see how much spelling really matters try filling out a resume with that technique.

I can read that. I did read somewhere, though, that only 35% of the population can read like that.

This is neat. However, spelling still counts in my book.

Sorry, I still think it’s important. I would think you a fool if you wrote a letter like that to me!
