yeah basically if the first and last letters are there then anyone can understand the word. Its some weird thing thats goofy.

**Tasselfoot** · 10-25-2004, 08:42 PM

except when you get weird things like brad or bard... i'm too lazy to think up other examples.

but, yea. i've seen that before, and yes... its not hard at all to read that.

quite a phenomenon.

that's pretty cool...makes me kinda dizzy...then again...my IQ is only shfifty-five...

I didn't have any real issue with readin that except for one word...
rset... I kept reading it as reset (should be rest), but I think that can be attributed to becoming used to reading typos. Second shot through, no problems at all.

the words before give clues to what the words should be that you have trouble with, its not hard to read.

esupin · 10-26-2004, 01:15 PM

yes, the human mind is an amazing thing. Did you know that most people dream in black and white?

ad0gg · 10-26-2004, 01:47 PM

That is amazing, I think I saw it somewhere else like a year ago.

As far as I know I dream in color.

I think I posted this topic in chit chat a looooong time ago. If it wasn't here it was on a different forum.

It's interesting but a little too old now.

The reason we can read that is, basically, because we don't have to sound out every letter in the word. It's just sight reading.

You did. And it was posted before that too. But it still is cool. And I definitely dream in color.

they say if you dream in color you have a good imagination. and that text reminds me of certain optical illusions.

Haiku thread.. ?

**Tasselfoot** · 10-27-2004, 01:52 PM

haiku's are 3 lines in a 7-5-7 format. that doesn't meet either of the two reqs for a Haiku.

try actually reading it next time, and you'll see the funnyness of it.
