Hey, Victor Galis, do you also post at Pbreview.com???? just curious cause a guy by the name of Ellisd3e posted almost the exact same thing, not quite word for word, but pretty damn close.

Some complex words can work well. Anyone who plays Countdown and can work out the conundrum in less than a second will know what I mean.

I either get complex anagrams straight away or not at all.

My first thought when opening this was "drunk thread".

The problem with drunk threads is that my typing doesn't get worse. Where's the fun in that?

Big Crunch: Dyslexia affects any of the letters in a word, not just the ones between the first and last. Beyond that, though, it would be interesting to study it.

testing with co-worker confirms that people who speak english as a second language can read Victor's statement. Had a little trouble with a few words, but 90% OK.

I think it actually affects the context & first and last letters.

Thus it is hard to read single letters but easy as to read them in a sentance

Hey this is cool.

At first I thought you were drunk, but it is nice.

I didn't get GePap's word because it IS too long, and I didn't know it.

I got the second long word (magnamoneous no?) but didn't get the third one.


This is utterly cool. And I mean utter, as in the part of the cow where you get milk from.
