I didn't read muhans as humans until the second time you said it. I could read MOST of those words but not all of them so I don't think this is 100% the case!

Dyslexia is just an advertising ploy to sell more.

Yeah, they totally did this study already and it was found that so long as the first and last letters of the word were the correct ones and the letters in the middle were all the same, but juxtaposed, a person would be able to easily interpret the words as well as read entire sentences. This new study doesn't follow those rules and some of those words are impossible to deconstruct at a normal reading pace. If this study was true then the whole idea of word jumbles as brain teasers would not exist.

you have to read it out loud. call over a friend and read it to them, they'll understand what you're saying.

yeah this is lame. if there is a word that rearranges into another word or something similar, i will read it as it looks. for example, i read "dusty", not "study". and i thought of "stocking" when i saw the altered version of "costing" ("stocing"). it takes significantly more effort to read things in this form than in regular English.

well that's like nuffy, since the second consonant sound is a double consonant. so it's limmion loddars instead of limlion lodlars or llimion llodars, neither of which really represent how the word would sound if you'd switch it up. not saying I disagree I'm just explaining what the Harvard scientists were going for.

Ohhhhh I get it. This one is the same thing as the older study but related to hearing. Cool. Now it makes perfect sense. They are definitely interrelated. Maybe somebody should tell them that.
