Take This Reading Test

Hi guys

I forgot where I'd got this image from - my guess is many of you must have come across this earlier on - but still this is great fun to read through.. Give it a shot:

Cool - aint it ?

Regards,

m^e

:)Hehe, it actually works! And English isn't even my native language... Interesting!

That's fascinating, but it gives me a headache trying to read it sort of. Here's something I found:

Hlelo, my nmae is Mkie and I hvae dsoecvreid tihs ncie wrod jbemlur. Isn't it naet how you can sltil raed tihs wtih a fiar amonmut of esae? It knid of gievs me a hadcehae toughh.

Hello, my name is Mike and I have discovered this nice word jumbler. Isn't it neat how you can still read this with a fair ammount of ease? It kind of gives me a headache though.

yes this is rather old... theres a book out about it i think...does anyone else notice that it doesnt work with word that they are not familiar with or that you don't read to often...

Yeah I found that. There was one word in there that I couldn't make sense of. I also figured it was due to being unfamiliar with it. It's only natural since your mind has no way of figuring out which order it should be placed in.

Nice one ninjamuky That word-jumbler's really cool. That gives me an idea to try design one on my own. There's a certain way to jumble them though - I tried out different permutations of characters using a simple algorithm - but not ALL of them can be deciphered so easily - so there must be a definite jumble order.. Am off to try figure it out.

awesome! i have also read this elsewhere but this is the best article i've seen on it so far.The jumbler is great!

damn thats freakin cool

Heh. I've seen this before. I got an email once that had the same subject, only in icelandic (where I'm from) and you were suppose to send it to your friends.. and icelanders aint so many, so it doesn't take much time replying over the country.

When I first clicked on this topic, I thought it was going to be a topic where you have to read a page as fast as you can.That is strange. Although there are a few words I didn't understand quickly, still. But, if you just learned how to read, would you still be able to read that? You can only read it because your use to the words, even if they are moved around. So, if you just learn't how to read, you wouldn't be able to because you're not use to it yet.

a book aubot how the haumn mnid can raed wrdos eevn thugoh tehy are out of oderr...taht smees rllaey stuipd to me, i wneodr how mnay peploe aulctaly bgohut the book? and yes it is wired how it wkros, but is hrad to raed wtih wdros taht you dnot oetfn see or hvae neevr seen befroe (lkie taht paaranomrl wrod or wthveear it was in the pruicte...i slitl dnot konw waht it siad) taht is vrey stnrage, yet vrey cool and irtnseietng and i lvoe tihs wrod jbluemr...lol...its cool

Hee, hee. Taht's ralely cool. I hvae to azame all of my firdnes now. Yaeh, and it deos knid of gvie you a hchaedae.... - AalPl

That was amazing. The only thing I noticed was that I was reading a bit slower than normal and their was a couple words like "mess" that I couldn't read right away. I had to stop for a second and figure out what it was saying.

I wonder if one could find that kind of thing in other languages as well? Or is this the only available version? If you find something relevant let me know! I'd love to try it.
