    Hmm, weird. I was able to read MrJoeSoaps post without a problem, but not Mucks or uberwolfs. Could have a point there though, that University.

    Maybe the idea is to find out why some children have problems learning to read or to find ways to help dyslexics.

    Everyone has problems no need to single 1 person out.

    Yes this was posted before it is quite old but interesting none the less. I find it helpfull cause if i dont know how to spell a word i should know the first and last letters.

    But as far as i know if the sentence makes no sence and the words a messed up you wont be able to reed it cause it makes no sence. I cant test it on myself cause i will remember what i have typed so i will test it on all of you.

    who cares if its old!! why do people have to point that out all the time. The Simpsons is still funny, even after you've seen it 4 times. People are always joining this board.

    Anyway, ive never seen that before.Pretty Intresting

    If I see that research one more time, I'll cry. Dammit, that means someone's going to post it on me....

    I thought someone showed some counter research which underminded the research? Although it seems a pointless waste of research, there are worse ones - like the research into the % of a pint of Guinness lost by bearded drinkers.... The Irish Independent had a list awhile back. Made for an amusing read...
