Default Re: OT- Spelling is out.

I too had no problems reading it; yes, a little slower maybe by a fraction, but very readable nevertheless.

Just to throw a spin on it, maybe it has something to do with howe we see, not specifically how we read. I read before how our eyes generally recognize the outlines of objects (the areas of contrast) rather than the "fill" areas. Our minds just fill in the outline with the appropriate information. Maybe that has something to do with it. Remember there are a limited number of words that have similar beginning and ending letters and who are the same length as each other. Our minds just quickly calculate the options and "fill in" based on the context of the surrounding words.

Just an observation and hypothesis...
