yeah it is interesting! i heard about this issue b4 but never actually tried to read stuff this way....when i read the first few lettrers i thought u did a typo until the end of the first sentence...i guess students at school can take advantage of this and if they did a mistake they can claim that they were testing the effect of Typoglycemia :)

yes, they could TRY to get away with that. but if they did, I'd make them write their whole paper in that format. wheeeee!

Hey Jason,
My dad got an email about that a couple of weeks ago and tried it on my family over dinner. It really works. It's unbelievable how our minds really work.
