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 :)
