Dangit, Zach, now all the people who don't like to bother posting with reasonably accurate spelling are gonna start quoting this thread when people call them on it.

*Our local pizza place has the second part of that hanging on the wall, but not where it says only 55% of people can read it. Interesting. (And this is not the first time it's been suggested I have a strange mind, either...)

Since childhood, we've learned to read by memory.

55% is a pretty low number, if you ask me.

Honestly,

One of the first times I read one of those postings on another site, I was maybe ten words in before I realized how it was all mispelled on purpose. I tend to read quickly and didn't pick up on it right away.

I guess it may be true about the first and last letter and stuff.

I read it like I read a normal sentence, no problem.
