yep, I read this on another board yesterday. I had no problem reading it.

 

[dburr]

Yeah, OK, I read it, but it did take longer than if it was the right way.

 

[aarone]

that was cool. I like interesting things like these.

 

[birdy]

That is too funny, I guess I will stop giving my husband such a hard time about his terrible spelling.

 

[dzones]

[squidd]

[aarone]

[cindyski]

i got that one somewhere else too, my daughters loved it! (teenagers) i had no problem reading it

 

[squidd]

It's an interesting Parlor Trick/Optical Illusion/Brain Test...
But poor spelling/grammar is quite a distraction for the transfer of information/ideas in this the "Information Age"
My children all learned with the "Rite too Reed" system taught in schools these days... The "Teachers" all said "Let them be, after they get the basic concepts then they can learn proper spelling and grammer..."
They Never Did.
Maybe I'm just OLD School...

 

[salty cheese]

And to think all those years wasted learning how to spell.
Hoo wooda thunk.

 

[aarone]

lol maybe so. I learned to read the good old fashioned way. By nuns with rulers correcting my every mistake! lol just kiddin, hooked on phonics worked for me.

 

[wablondie98664]

[steven the fish]

Cool, now i have an excuse for my mispelling in english class. LOL

Squid, my kids (3 of 'em!) learned that way, too. In Pre-K, they were allowed to spell "write" as "rite", ect........and now they are in 4th and 3rd, and spell better than I do. Of course, I also credit that to my wife and I working with them.
As for being "Old School", trust me, STAY that way. Nowadays when a kid doesn't bring a book home and fails every class they blame it on the teacher. When I was young, if I failed a test because I didn't study, I wanted to go LIVE with the teacher rather than face my parents! I'm a cop, and if we find drugs in a kids locker, the FIRST thing many parents ask is what right we had to look in their locker. If that had happened to me when I was young, I would have just asked the cops to lock me up and throw away the key! 'Course, thats the old days, when people accepted responsibilty for their actions. Take it from me, those days are LONG gone!

That's pretty cool. Must have been hard to type though.

[saltyj]

I did not even realize that the words were misspelled until about the fifth word. Maybe that is because I am a genius though. J/K
