I can read it. But my mind is warped from all the years working in a tv newsroom.
I know intelligent people online. Thanks, /t., pug, and photogguy.
this little piece has been making it's way through cyberspace for a quite a while little lamb.
and yes, when we read, generally, our eyes scan a word - proficient readers generally do not read letter by letter, nor even word by word, but by meanigful chunk of text by meaningful chunk of text. we regress only when we are struggling with the reading - and proficient readers avoid (automatically/subconciously)regression - it slow us down and compromises comphrehension. which is not to say that sometimes we don't regress - cause we have to.
however, i venture to say that although quite a few people can read that mis-spelled text, their reading rate and overall comprehension declines when reading texts which have so many "scrambled" words. and if the text were longer, more complex in it's writing structure, AND mis-spelled, we'd see more difficulty.
as readers, we are accostomed (sp)to certain rules of the road- certain text conventions. when those conventions are violated, we struggle with the reading. that struggle is not necessarily a bad thing - we can expand our knowledge of text conventions - and sometimes writers purposely violate text and genre conventions to make a point - to challenge conventional thinking.
oh heavens, this is enough pedantic lecturing.
i'm off!

The other night I was reading in one of my favorite English Lit books- (it's 100 years old!), and I came across a poem that made me think of you- Hope you like it :)
The Lamb
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life & bid thee feed,
By the stream & o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, wooly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee;
He is called by thy name,
For he calls himself a Lamb.
He is meek & he is mild;
He became a little child.
I a child & thou a lamb.
We are called by his name.
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
-William Blake (1757-1827)
(This is from Cora from Mayden's Voyage- I'm switching to beta and can not comment under my usual name :)
I have beta and blogger too. But I mostly blog with blogger until they kick me out. That's a good poem, Cora. But she's still Lambie to me.
bird, I didn't know it was making its rounds in cyberspace. I guess it's not new, them. What do you teach anyway?
Cora as long as you use the same picture hopefully people will know who you are. I loved the poem. Thank you for sharing.
Enemy, they better not kick you out. If they do you'll have to give us your new address so we can visit you, online of course.
