                      Does that statistic stand? Almost 45% of us struggle to read this? Who couldn't read it? I could read it.

                        The thing to note about this discovery is that it only works for common words. If you saw a sentence containing words you don't know, you would not be able to read it.

                          If only people on Code Project spelled with the first and last letters of each word correct. Heck, they often omit entire sentences!

                              I have saw this test in my native language a way back, but what amazes me now is the fact that I have no problems reading this one, and the English is my third language! The brain is the ultimate gadget:)

                                I got everything except Atecriucne and iitginaoamn on the second pass. I managed to figure out the latter on the 4th; I'm still stumped about Atecriucne. :cool:

                                  If only people on Code Project spelled with the first and last letters of each word correct. Heck, they often omit entire sentences!

                                      Great effort. This was the entire text - Acturience, or desire of action, in one form or another, whether as restlessness, ennui, dissatisfaction, or the imagination of something desirable. --J. Grote. Acturience was the CCC for today. :)

                                      Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
                                      Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

                                        "I just met you and I love you." If a dog can talk in full sentences, you'd think a Code Project programmer could. ;P

                                          This was debunked by Nish (or maybe it was someone else) in the earlier post. The order of letters *does* matter, it is only some rearrangements that can be recognized as the original.
