I've seen this sort of post before- but have yet to hear of someone who cannot read it. Don't get me wrong- I'm sure there are people who can't read it terribly well- but it likely has little to do with the "speed" of their brain. Does anyone know of a link to show that something like this is an actual study with empirical data to support a conclusion? _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

But I've heard that this was proven more then once. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Aug 11, 2007 10:45 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" My issue with it is the idea that only 55 out of 100 people can read it. That number seems far too low. I'm thinking it's more like 95 people out of a hundred that can read it, and the remaining 5 people can't likely because of something like Dyslexia where they already have problems reading things that are completely normal. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Make a poll? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Aug 11, 2007 12:20 pm StevieLaner7777 Moderator Joined: 07 Mar 2007 Posts: 1060 Location: Herefordshire, UK Hi all I have been looking for the actual research on it, but as I don't know what this is called it makes it very difficult to find. Here is the link to Cambridge Uni where this research was performed: http://www.cam.ac.uk/ Though I can't seem to see anything about it yet. As for me, Yes I can read this pretty well though I do get hung up on some of the words where they have broken their own rule of keeping the first and last letter of the word in the same place, other than that all else is smooth. Broom - I think it may be to late to add a poll now, I think after so many people have viewed/posted, A poll cannot be added to the original post (Correct me if I'm wrong).

If you would like a poll- feel free to try and verify that it works as it should. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.
