A lt of thes scintists cal tis amont of mixng up "redudancy" as we cn also mis ot a fair few letrs frm te word an stll it mkes sens.
It is for this reason I ask for people not to correct themselves while using text messages or instant mesaging as it only uses space to correct themselves, and I just read over the spelling mistakes.
For example, in that last paragraph, did anyone notice the s missing from the the word messaging? Only the really observant would have noticed it without looking back.

Try reading it again. There are six of them in there. Look closely at each letter, not word.

Also, you only read the tops of the letters, you don't need the bottom half of letters to read them, but it's near impossible to work out a word if you don't have the top... I don't think I'm making sense

I get you. The top half of the letters are the important parts, not the bottom and the tails.
