I can read it, but it offends my sensibilities   - I abhor bad spelling even if it is legible.

I believe you meant to type: "Please type in English...since you're in Britain"

The point is what the brain interrupts. and can understand. As I showed in an earlier forum entry that if you cover half upper or lower of a line of type you can understand what is written. Human language is context sensitive, this what makes it so difficult to write language to language translator.

Here's an other one.
Count every " F " in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
(SEE BELOW)


HOW MANY ?
WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !

The reasoning behind is further down. The brain cannot process "OF".
         
Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!
Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius. 
                   
Three is normal, four is quite rare.

No probs for the bi-, tri- and quadrilingual people out there

But it might be easiest for the Brits, and semi-Brits or semi-Dutch... uhm South Africans, Americans and Aussies

I didn't see the F in "OF" until I actually looked for "OF".

Re the letter scrambling: The premise is not true. It is not necessarily still easy to read with just the first and last letters.

Try this:
A dootcr has aimttded the magltheuansr of a tageene ceacnr pintaet who deid aetfr a hatospil durg blendur.

I challenge anyone to figure that one out without a lot of thought.
You can read the answer on this page, about half way down. That page has lots of good info on it.

What it doesn't mention is that if you do unscramble the original text, there are rather a lot of misspellings ("...according to a researchch..."?).
