Ok so my ELA teacher told me a strange theory she heard about. I don't remember where she said she got it from but I remember she told me that she heard that some english scholars believe that english reader's eyes are more use to having words seperated when reading (duh) and that they believe 1 in 4 people can read well with or without spaces while it may take a few minutes for the other three to read without spaces.
Let's see if it's true. The only thing is that the writer or typer can't use puncuation or capilazation,only letters. But anyways, post if you read this well or not. :)

Aside those three parts missing a letter or two from one or more of the words, I read it fine

i read that just fine. i've never heard of that but i've heard that people can still read sentences that have vowels missing from the words...[font="Franklin Gothic Medium"][/font]

I thought Elba had posted a topic on it a year or so ago, but I went to look and I didn't find it in her topics. :/

that was something where the letters were mixed up, where only the first and last letter have to be in the right place.
