Anyway, the first/last letters thing is a hoax. If you truly randomise letters, things are much harder to read, for example:

"Ardncciog to a rrhecacseh at Cgaridmde Usrievtiny, it dneso't metatr in waht oerdr the lrteets in a wrod are, the olny inpoertmt tnhig is taht the fsirt and lsat lteetr be at the rghit pcale. The rset can be a ttaol mses and you can sltil raed it wthiutt a pbolrem. Tihs is bscueae the hmaun mnid deos not raed eervy lteetr by iltesf, but the wrod as a wohle."

That isn't even nearly as easy to read as the hoax. This is because the hoax made sure to group combinations of letters which your brain automatically processes.

I could read that with ease, but i'll take it because i've read Scotchguys 'easier' version beforehand. Try with a completly brand new paragraph and see what happens.

[Jet Set Willy]

I can't be bothered.

I agree. If you randomise the letters with the purpose of making it unreadable then it's not going to be all that easy to comprehend.

You'll notice that in that original, hoax passage the important letters are mostly in order. That's why it's so much easier to read.

[Jay]

Exactly.

Highlight the words below if you don't understand.






The longer the words, the more incomprehensible this shit gets.

[KidneyKai]

I didn't get the word 'incomprehensible'

[Jay]

I guess you could say that you found the word 'incomprehensible' to be incomprehensible.

heh :lol:
