[kveeti]

Found today in my travels.........



Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

I have a spelling checker
It came with my PC
It plainly marks for my revue
Mistakes i can not see

I strike a key and type a word
And wait for it to say
Wether i am wrong or rite
It shows me straight away

As soon as a mistake is made
It knows before too long
And i can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong

I have run this poem through it
I am sure your pleased to know
Its letter perfect all the way
My checker told me so

i did it!

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer inwaht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

I had an easier time reading Matak's jumble than I did Kveeti's!

I don't know why! I think because Matak's is just mispelled words, while Kveeti's is the wrong words.

Hmmm....

Heh, I felt the same way. I think it's based on iconography and such. If I read "eye" my mind instantly recognizes it, processes it and where ever in the brain these thing are processed it opens the little filing cabinet with body parts and goes to an eyeball. If I see "I", it does the same, but searches the pronouns and finds me. Reading a word that we know to be correct "eye or I" vs a misspelled word that we know to be correct "eey" we don't have to deprogram the iconography that the brain does on a totlaly invisible level to us. Now, this would apply to advanced readers. Basically our minds decode in a way we just don't see or even realize.

Now then, show Matak's post to a first grader who is still learning phonics and vocabulary and they would have a very different experience trying to sound out Matak's post and trying to make heads or tails of it.
