I CAN READ THIS.....lol...can you...
its an old research, i guess from university of california .. not sure. anyway, this research states that human mind does not need every single letter at its specific place to understand a word. only the first and last letter matters. that the reason that you are able to read these wrdos.
There was another test, to test your right/left brain. It has different words like .. word RED written in blue color and you had to utter the name of the "color of the text" not the word itself. I did that one easily . :D
yay lol...there is some other tests where your have to count the number of times the letter f appears in a given text. Your brain missed the f in certain words...
