Could you imagine reading something like 'War and Peace' if it was written like that? Edit:D'oh, I just found this thread:http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......2&16 which was only made three days ago.

Loual4 Special user Montreal, Canada 670 Posts	Posted: Mar 21, 2007 11:33 am 0 Actually, the explanation I had found was the following: Your brain does not actually have to read all the letters in a word to recognise it. It detects the patern, that is all. So if the letters are jumbled, except for the first and last, and no letters are missing or added, you will have no trouble reading the entire text... Apparently, it seems to work pretty well! The Montreal Magician Le magicien de montreal fete d'enfant
