If we truly read words as a whole, then why must the first and last letters be fixed? Why can't the entire word be scrambled? And what exactly does "as a whole" mean anyway? How can one see a word as a whole without seeing the letters in it?

In a way this is a cheap magician's trick, because the only reason people can read the scrambled words is because they aren't very scrambled. Fixing the first and last letters means 2 and 3 letter words don't change at all, and 4 letter words just swap the middle letters. That's the bulk of our vocabulary. Try making a sentence with very long words, and our ability to read words "as a whole" mysteriously vanishes. To wit:

Bblaaesl pryleas pnmrrioefg sllaimy aeoulltsby dvrseee clbrpmaaoe tteenmrat.

is incomprehensible, because now every word is truly scrambled, with the first and last letters being an insignificant proportion of the total. So sorry all of you that thought you had academic backing to your poor spelling and grammar skills. They do matter, because baseball players performing similarly absolutely deserve comparable treatment.

^ This dudes theory is BS, he ignores the fact that the thing states the first and last letter must be in place. This is important because you actually readthose first and then figure out what the middle part means. If its entirely scrambled you cant do this.

Phenomenol, for example is basically as long as any words he uses, but I didnt pause for a split second when reading it in the OP

the cambridge part may be wrong, it may be right. it DOESNT MATTER, because the message is still right.

This dude ignores the whole point of the OP and talks about something different.






btw, i saw this many years ago

Good point

If that's the case then they should give people that are dyslexic books that are typed like that

 

[retr0sxual]

There's a typo in the first sentence.

first and last are in place..... only reason you can read OP's post is because they use simple short words and don't scramble them too much.
