Pretty cool, don't you think?

I have seen this before, just a bit more background to add (in non-gobbledygook), the research was actually done by some of last year's batch of PhD students in the Cambridge University English Department.

Yoda, bludvik <---- true gobbledygook (pickaxe)

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.

Another interesting thing I found:


Brain Oddities

I still don't see how there were six. I got "of" and several others, only adding up to four. . . . .

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

Oh. I had only spotted one "of". I missed the other two.

That's okay. It means you're normal

So then I guess I should be thankful?

I had seen that one before, so I got all six F's.

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.
