The usual TLP by ideur2002-11-06 03:15:58
  Wow! It doesn't always work! by rebill 2011-12-28 08:28:26

Micro-revelation just occurred!

A long time ago, I ran across an article that said that dyslexics would not really notice when the text was written like so:

A lnog tmie aog, I ran arcsos an atrcile taht siad taht dlexyscis wluod nto rlaely ntocie wehn teh txet wsa wirtetn lkie so:

(the rule being that the first and last letters had to be the in same place as the original, but that the rest could be scrambled).

I just found a counter example!

I was writing a "clutter" post, and started with the icanhaz style of "cltr", but decided on the lyxdexia version of "cutlter".

That version registered in my brain as "cutlery" ... and as "culture" a few seconds later.

Hmmm.

It's not terribly profound, but ... well, it does count as clutter!
