That really is cool, Lon. I read it with no problem at all!! How long did it take you to write that with all the letters in the wrong places?

Why does this make me smurk reading it?

It looks funny, feels weird to read and yet strangely I'm kind of pleased with myself for understanding it.

I wonder if it works for all languages, not just english?

The first and last letter thing makes a lot of sense. In speed reading they only glance at sections of the page. I wonder if your post could be read as easily by a speed reader?

Whoa.. good thing you explained that.. I thought it was flashback city there for a second.. interesting though.. I used to index newspaper articles and reading and comprehending quickly became a habit.. so I can see where this makes sense...
