There has been a serious amount of censorship around the whole forum today. I think a new moderator (such as myself) would be useful to help lighten the workload of the existing ones.

Tektsen er fuldt læbsar selv om de adre bogastver kommer huilbtertlulter! Det er, fordi vi ikke læser hvert eneklt botgsav, men ser bildeler af ordet som en hehled.

Swedish:

En vestenkalpig unsdernöking gjord vid ett untivseriet i Enlgand har visat att utfiall de två fösrta och de två sista botskevärna i alla orden i en text är ritkigt plessarade, spelar det liten roll i viklen orgnindslöfjd de övirga boskvätrena i orden kommer. Tetxen är fullt läbsar t.o.m. om de andra bokestävrna kommer hullorebmuller! Detta eftorsem vi inte läser varje enkisld botksav, utan ser bidlen av ordet som helhet.

I can do it ion English and German, but not in French, even if I proud myself with being fluent in that language...So I think it has to do with ones routine in language.

Interestingly splelling has never been my strong point.

And to add another aspect: I have read a report, and I have no source to cite right now, that one hears only about two thirds of what people say, but that does not impede conversation, due to the fact, that we normally are able to sustitute the rest.
