That holds true for 'normal people', but those with dyslexia will have a much harder time reading it properly. 10 to 15% of the US population has dyslexia yet only 5% of them are ever properly diagnosed and given appropriate help. The British dyslexia association estimates that 10% of children have some degree of dyslexia. Four percent are severely affected.

Which explains why 'Fcuk' is so easy to understand. 'French Connection UK' of course. Whatever else?

that or they're going to have to be a major word geek. I breezed over that paragraph - great one, tedster. Reminds me a small piece by Twain, where he illustrates how language may evolve, starting with the letter "f" disappearing. Can't bloody find it though, or I'd quote some of it on here. Some people use misspellings to make their webpages look "more human" - still, I'd rather spell it right than wrong...

I wrote my paragraph using a script that does the scrambling for you. Can't find the site that had a working version online. Here's an example of it: [jwz.org...] Some more info: [snopes.com...]

This must be part of the explanation for the difficulty of accurate proofreading - built in neural error correction.
