bollocks.
I can read that paragraph but it's difficult and took longer to read because with the words like that I had to look at each one and decipher it before going to the next.

hmm, I didnt have any trouble at all the first time I read it, in fact I didnt realise until half way through that the letters were ALL jumbled

I had little trouble deciphering it either, but then again, i guess i'm just *that* used to having to read IRC chat. =P

If I notice something's wrong, it matters. Usually I don't notice typos at all.

Of course, I didn't notice anything wrong in the first and last paragraphs, but that's just my brain.

The faster you read it, the easier it is to read.

[dharawal.livejournal.com]

thats true, if you read it slowly the mistakes jump out at you

haha, most likely due to having to understand friends typing on msn (being the slackers they are that can't be bothered using the backspace button, just like myself ;D) I am now accustomed to reading over typos like its a normal word.. so my eyes just sped right across those things :P

But yeah, that thing is awesome *steals it* :D

copious misspelt ICQ messages do the same for me
