Follow-up: Can You Raed Tihs? meal worms writes "A Slashdot article appearing last Monday, which reported on the claim that scrambled words are legible as long as first and last letters are in place, was circulated to the University of British Columbia's Linguistics department. An interesting counter-example resulted:

"Anidroccg to crad cniyrrag lcitsiugnis planoissefors at an uemannd, utisreviny in Bsitirh Cibmuloa, and crartnoy to the duoibus cmials of the ueticnd rcraeseh, a slpmie, macinahcel ioisrevnn of ianretnl cretcarahs araepps sneiciffut to csufnoe the eadyrevy oekoolnr."

As demonstrated, a simple inversion of the internal characters results in a text which is relatively hard to decipher."

Cmabrigde gets owned

oh...my...god. Eli, where were you??

 

[DanTMWTMP]

I couldn't make that out at all what the hell. I remember this story long time ago, and there were a bunch of jumbled letters, BUT, I clearly made out what it said, even though it was jumbled. That sentence, I can't make it out at all.

EDIT: nm I get it now lol. So that sentence is trying to debunk that research ehhehe

 

[nakedfrog]

Some of the words still came to me pretty easily, but not all of them.

Heh.

According to card carrying linguistics professionals at an unnamed, university in British Columbia, and contrary to the dubious claims of the uncited research, a simple mechanical inversion of internal characters appears sufficient to confuse the everyday onlooker.

---the language of the original was much more simple than the language in this jumble... which may contribute to difficulty deciphering...
