yes i've heard about this study , and it's amazing i could actually read the entire passage even if if the words are jumbled. if the ist and last letter are in the right places then easier to read. i've always had trouble with anagrams so this surprises me.

I dunno... I've gotten that in an e-mail before and I had trouble reading it because I apparently DO look at each letter. *shrug* Oh well. Guess I always have to be different. Ok, maybe not ALWAYS, but... yeah...
