Now read this text again, paying attention to each word and you’ll probably notice “some” typing errors ;)

@ “Me, Myself, and iPod”: The first and last letter are ought to stay the same. You fail … terribly
I can go beast on Homer Simpson. =)
oooh small BRAIN LOL XD
Hlelo tehre poelpe of Ertah. Can yuo raed tihs? If yuo cna yuo aer a wriedo. That message is for all the people with brains as big as homer’s. Who can’t be bothered finding spelling errrrrors, and are too lazy to rearrange the letters. Therefore they read it as it is.
yeah I said it.
Just kidding!
This was cool and very interesting, I wonder if everyone can read it like this. I thought this was very awesome.
For people (like me) to whom English is not their first language, it’s not as easy. But I once see the same thing in French and, yes, it was easily understandable. But it takes a little much longer to read than a «normal» text.
thats cool… impossible to write but still!
I had no trouble reading it before I read the caption so I guess it is true.
Maybe I’m wired differently than most, but I found this mess nearly impossible to read from the start. Oh, sure I could surmise what some of this should be. Like I suppose that “elgnsih unviesitry sutdy” is supposed to be “English University study”, though I’m not 100 % certain about that. But many words in this remain a complete mystery to me, even after considerable analysis. For instance I have no idea what “iopmrantt” is supposed to be. And as for what the unpronounceable “crcreot ptoision” might be, I shrug my shoulders with dismay. And what is rset, some kind of mathematical set using the letter “r” to represent it? That too is unknown to me. When I read, I read each word individually, and pronounce them in my mind, so such stuff that actually can’t be properly pronounced baffles me. Without these words actually spelled correctly I’ve got no idea what they are supposed to be. So maybe the order of letters might not matter to some people, but it matters to me. I’m serious, here.
Acocdrnig to an elgnsih unviesitry sutdy the oredr of letetrs in a wrod dosen’t mttaer, the olny thnig thta’s iopmrantt is that the frsit and lsat ltteer of eevry word is in the crcreot ptoision. The rset can be jmbueld and one is stlil able to raed the txet wiohtut dclftfuiiy.
According to an english university study the order or letters in a word doesn’t matter, the only thing that’s important is that the first and last letter of every word is in the correct position. The rest can be jumbledand one is still able to read the text without difficulty.
:3 sry i know im not meant to, just thought id point it out that thats what it says
thatz awesome i got to read it crcreot form AWESOME
haha nice pic
It’s for this same reason that many adults have great difficulty pronouncing long words that they haven’t seen before (without taking time to examine the word for at least a few seconds).
For example, my last name: Kristofferson.
More often than not, telemarketers (and teachers) absolutely butcher this name when trying to pronounce it. They look at the word as a whole, and since their brain isn’t familiar with the word, an incorrect jumble of syllables comes out their mouth.

Yes, all of the words in this comment do contain the exact number of the precise letters they should contain and the first and last letter of every word (and every apostrophe) is in the correct position.
I believe this to be true with respect to extent of someone’s vocabulary. I like to think that I have a respectable vocabulary and honestly had no trouble reading this, save for one word. “tancoin” in the piece: “look lkie tehy tancoin rael, neatruled wrdos”. I had a real hard time figuring this one out and then I realized it was supposed to be “contain,” only because it fit the sentence, but did not stick to the first and last letter format. I do find it more difficult when the words, while jumbled, create two different words that make no sense together or in the sentence, such as “boghurt” from an earlier post. Instinctively I read the two words “bog” and “hurt” instead of reading a jumbled brought. However, I did realize that “yellslabs” in your comment, did not fit the first and last letter format and could be read as “yell” and “slabs” or “yells” and “labs”, yet I did not have any trouble identifying it as syllables. Just some food for thought Mr. Thinker.
Egad! You’re right, those two words were mistakes on my part. I meant to follow the first and last letter format throughout. I thus rendered my own pronouncement forfeit…
Ah, indeed, vocabulary is, perhaps, the greatest factor. It appears I have been humbled this day; I’ll have to think thrice before making so bold a proclamation in the future.
E.g.:
Tihs alitcre is clpmteoe bsilulht.
This article is complete bullshit
You know, I’m able to read the whole paragraph, but when I take a single word out of contex, it doens’t make sense anymore. Take “iopmrantt” for example, in the paragraph it obviously meant “important”, but by itself, it becomes a jumble of letters.
This is a nice illusion.. But It only works right when you have all letters accounted for and if what you are saying makes sense. When you talk nonsense it becomes much more difficult to understand because people pay more attention to nonsense than they do sense so they will notice the misspellings far more often.

yep……Homer language
I think i just read this fastly
So what made you have to put homer’s brain…. better yet what does HOMER have to do with this?
just saying
I didn’t realize the letters where misplaced until noticed the spelling of ‘letetrs’. So cool. What’s more interesting English is a second language to me and I didn’t know the word ‘jumbled’ but yet managed to read it. Mind blowing. That’s why I’ll study psychology the next year!
I knew this trick has some technical name , can any body name this trick…
