I wonder if someone could very kindly point me to a recent thread, which I remember but can't think how to find. It contained a chunk of text in which most words were misspelt, but which was nevertheless reasonably easy to read - it's a fairly well-known demo of how the brain constructs things and makes sense of things. (I have to write a lecture on reading skills (new Uni term looming!) and just thought it would make a good example of how we skim-read)
Many thanks 🙂
