FORWARD ONLY IF YOU CAN READ IT.

The next time someone make a negative comments on your spell abilities, because you spelled a word wrong, tell them to read this message. Before use spell check. Codebreaker.

lol yep yep i can read it. i love reading stuff like that cause it makes me smile.
I feel bad for the ppl that looked at that and said "huh"?

lol i keep coming back to read this!!!! man, you just gotta love the human mind. man!!! i will always be amazed at the mind.

I could read it too without a problem! YAY i have a great mind!!

I culod aslo raed tihs vrey esialy!

The Human mind can be an amazing thing.

yay. thats fun . never seen it before
and ya the human mind is amazing- and this is only the stuff we can comprehend atm

I can read this... so I have a 'strange' mind? what makes it strange? just wondering

Great one!!! I too have never seen this before...Would then perhaps the Voynich Manuscript be something similar in another language... or a combination of the Merchants multilingual languages of the past???

Fun! And interesting.

I have seen that paragraph before, at work during a Course. It was to show that the brain does indeed not need to read every letter individually.

Still curious though

TI SAW A TAERG TSOP FI NAC DAER SIHT UOY EVAH GNIHTON RETTEB OT OD

that was cool.

Can anybody here not read it? I've seen this in e-mails or on forums about 5 times now and I've never seen anyone unable to read it, even though it claims only about 1 in 2 can.

Subconsiously, If a word has the same beginning letter and ending letter your mind will automatically decifer the word:
example: iretntsenig. It doesn't matter where the letters in between fall. It's quite simple actually.
Just my thoughts.

It would be interesting to find someone who cant read it. Iv'e seen threads about this before and it's 100% i can read it.

It is interesting that your avatar is code breaker, because that is what anyone reading this OP is actually doing, not reading; but code breaking. It requires a good reading ability, but also the ability to transpose/almost automatically sift and sort a number of potential correct words and choose the most appropriate. It also requires textual recognition; that is the ability to place/recognise an appropriate word in a text from cues within the surrrounding text. Taking all the vowels out of words produces a simlar problem. However, if you remove a number of the words completely, you reach a point where there are too many possibilities to be certain you can replace/read the original message accurately.
For example, see what happens when I remove just a few key words, and how hard it is to ensure a completely acciurate rewrite

Now, because there are multiple possibilities to replace the missing words, it becomes much more difficult to accurately translate.

It is why the ancients used caligraphy as writing to express thoughts and opinions about events. I laugh at those who demand that others use the spell checker as a sign of intellegence. So many misconceptions in the world huh? Why we can't understand them and mistranslate.

yup my mind is great! Oh, and strange (?)

I've seen this posted here three times and a dozen times on different forums.

I'm yet to meet a person who couldn't read it.

Perhaps a change of thread title? "Only average minds can read this" with a sub-title "if you can't, fret not, it just means you're mentally spasticated".

I guess we all have great minds then! But it is cool how the brain can organize stuff and give us the right message!

Oh yeah I can read too even that I am not native English speaker - so I guess my mind is great and I also know many english words.
Yet I am still modest.

I have seen this before and everyone can read this, nothing special. This is how the brain works and if you cannot read, then it is time to be worried about your brain not functioning normally. Or maybe your bad at reading, you'll know.

I wonder where you got that information about it Codebreaker.

had no problem with the first.
capital letters seemed a bit different though?

would a dyslexic person have difficulty reading it?

A person with dyslexic experience difficulty with readings because of some reason so yes they would have a problem reading it if they have a problem with reading. But maybe it could even be harder to see the words for some if they read letter by letter.

But i think it is easier for everyone to read text how it should be. This only means that you can read the text without really doing any thinking, the brain matches the words that you already can automatically. Tihs is olny raeidng.

Consider just how the image goes into your brain. Everything that is in your field of vision is turned upside down and opposite before you actually see it. Then your brain takes that image and turns it right side up, but it is still opposite. So, the sentence above stays opposite. 'But, what is amazing is if your brain can read this.'

A Japanese person who speaks Japanese would not be able to read any words that we wrote, so does that make the American brain smarter because it can read that?

Mine Could

Smarty pants!

Why thank you lol.

Back on topic ... There's a word for this whole phenomen. It's where the brain just assumes the word is right and like someone else said as long as the letteres are majorily in place you will figure it out .... I did it in a psych course in school ... guess I wasn't paying attention that day. It's cool none the less though ... tsop eht rof sknahT.

Waht aobut witring scuh a satmnett, yuo cnat hvae hda aynhting beettr ot od

Wicked!

I didn't even realize what was going on until I got halfway through the paragraph. Very interesting.

It has been my experience at work, especialy when people are espected to actually read instructions, that most people have the ability to read...and very few use that ability. If they do use it, very few can retain the meaning of what they read longer than a few minutes. If they can read and do...and then retain what they read, few of those people will react correctly according to what they have understood.

Yeah i can also read like it's normal.
Very interesting indeed, never heard anything like this before.

I could read that with ease. I had trouble of with a few words but figured em out pretty fast. Nice post.

Here's another fun game that's similar to this one. See if you can decipher what these words are. The onle thing missing are all the vowels. I found this on a website. Kinda hard but I got a few of em. Btw, none of the words end or begin in a vowel.

Easy, except where there are a number of possibilities.
Chemical, animal, political, behaviour, professional, launched or lunched (As in we lunched together) longest. These jumped out straight away, but there may be other possibilities

I dont believe in
"great minds" but my english teacher asked us and yer we could all read it

i belife in stupid minds, dumb minds, aver. minds, smart minds, great minds and genusis minds.

i've done these before and i can always read them. also, i've known for years my mind is strange.

That was fun i can read it though

Hey tahts scik i neevr herad of tihs bferoe im giong to wirte lkie tihs froveer.

hehe maybe all plipinos can read it
its just a matter of wrong spelling
I had read it like a normal words,, i think brains is so assuming

Wow, its tmie to hvae my cloon cealsend !!!!!!

I think this is a very cool discovery, my colon that is, lol... no I bet if I printed that first post out and had my mom read it, or try to read it ,.. she probably wont be able to. Why we are from the unexplained mysteries website . Already very different in a variety of mysterious lkes and phenomonon , we are strange , but cool. So why wouldnt a person like our kind have aa difficult time reading it? Now I bet if we all printed that original post and had some one read it that wasnt into the bigfoot gave me and them a beef jerky treat , [ my mom] my sister] example, read it or be able to LOOK INTO IT as our strange brains would. Perhaps those ones in life who dont bat an eye at sky at night or the stars,... or look for the lockness monster in a loch instead of on their head, wouldn they see things different anyway. I banking on my mom not getting it .

Any one going to try this on the people you know who are not like you? Or have absolutely do not find pleasure in analyisng words in general. the gossip mags is about as far as my mom goes but shehas chronic pain. so Im curious to see what she might ... I m not tearin down my mom and it probably sounds that way,.. I can use her as a example because she does not get her cracker on by reading material that has to do with mental energy or deep thought processing due to her pain.

I love my mom , and she is difficult. im so very curous as to what she will see,.. and ill get back to the firum after the fact ok?

great topic btw.
Abecrombie

damn i read that perfectly

yea... anyone you can read the words if they were spelled normally, could read it like that. its not for great minds only. everyone who has read this, which is everyone who has tried to read it does not have a great mind. some of you do, but not everyone who has read it, because everyone who can read, can read it. its a misconception that whoever reads it has a great mind. the mind reads words as a whole, not each letter by its self. as long as the first and last letter are correct then the middle letter can be in any order you want, and your mind will still read it. sorry people, there is nothing special about it.

Hi man

that was really easy to read

i can read it as normal
i am not joking

Thats because the human brain can generally recognise words from the first and last letters, and the length. There is nothing odd, strange or special about being able to do it.

Like siren people screaming profusely, there's no problem.

Yes i can read it. I have seen something similar somewhere and thought that it was fun as well..Yes, the first and last letter is the only important pieces and the rest can be garbage and you would still be able to read it.
