30 Jul 05 - 01:21 PM (#1531596) Subject: RE: BS: Mxeid Wrods From: khandu Yeah, it has been here before in a slightly different form. But, what the hay! The title, "Mxeid Wrods" reminded me of one of G. Dubya Bush' bloopers during the debates. He was saying Kerry was always sending "mixed messages". It was coming out "mexed missages", but he caught it and corrected it after he had said "mexed miss..." k |

30 Jul 05 - 05:13 PM (#1531731) Subject: RE: BS: Mxeid Wrods From: Raedwulf Idened! It really does work, but I wonder how much it relates to the ability to spell. My English has always been excellent (blame my parents & the house full of books...). Is it the case, therefore, that I recognise the group of letters & infitdey (I find it a real btsarad to deliberately mispell - how the hell did Les Dawson manage to purposely misplay songs at the piano?!) the word because of that? I read the initial post at more or less normal speed. How would a dyslexic find it? I imagine as easily, perhaps more easily (on the grounds that this is more or less normal?), as I did. But would one of the... ummm... how do I put this... the educational underclass (NB: I make no comment about their intelligence, just the fact that they don't do well in mainstream schooling) be able to make sense of it? Phonetic & written spelling are often very different. Take "phaonmneal" as an example. Fi-nom-e-null would be a reasonable phonetic rendition. If you are not sufficiently schooled to be able to recognise the original, will you be able to recognise the "mxeid" version? |

30 Jul 05 - 08:25 PM (#1531798) Subject: RE: BS: Mxeid Wrods From: Shakey This was supposedly developed as an age test by an R&D department at Harvard University. Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without making a mistake. The average person over 40 years of age can't do it. 1. This is this cat. 2. This is is cat. 3. This is how cat. 4. This is to cat. 5. This is keep cat. 6. This is an cat. 7. This is old cat. 8. This is fart cat. 9. This is busy cat. 10. This is for cat. 11. This is forty cat. 12. This is seconds cat. Now go back and read aloud the third word in each line from the top down. |
