LOL! Grammar Nazi Ping. :-p
Wow! I've seen this with the letters out of order, but this is the first time I've seen it with numbers. Good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this OUT LOUD you have a strong mind. And better than that: Alzheimer's is a long, long, way down the road before it ever gets anywhere near you! 7H15 M3554G3 53RV35 7O PR0V3 H0W 0UR M1ND5 C4N D0 4M4Z1NG 7H1NG5! 1MPR3551V3 7H1NG5! 1N 7H3 B3G1NN1NG 17 WA5 H4RD BU7 N0W, 0N 7H15 LIN3 Y0UR M1ND 1S R34D1NG 17 4U70M471C4LLY W17H 0U7 3V3N 7H1NK1NG 4B0U7 17, B3 PROUD! 0NLY C3R741N P30PL3 C4N R3AD 7H15. PL3453 F0RW4RD 1F U C4N R34D 7H15. To my 'selected' strange-minded friends: If you can read the previous paragraph, forward it on to your friends with 'yes' in the subject line. Only great minds can read this. This is weird, but interesting! If you can raed this, you have a sgtrane mnid, too. Can you raed this? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can. I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! If you can raed this forwrad it
LOL! I7 u anc raed tihs yrou'e oot dman colse!
Some of my friends have even more idle time than I...
I've seen this before in other forms, but it is still funny every time. I do not necessarily agree with the "we read whole words" explanation though. I was watching my own process as I read through it and I was deciphering each word and re-ordering the letters to make sense - in other wrods I was deciphering it letter by letter until the puzzle was solved. Yes, I recognize, and understand, each word, but I am not reading it as "whole words". I recall an education activist whom I heard on the radio, may have been Charlotte Iserbyt, comment that there was another word for people whose only method of understanding written text was "Whole Word" - illiterate.
I work with a bunch of people who are disabled. One is retarded and does not understand things completely. He is 65 y/o and has the mentality of a six-year old. Me, I have been ill and recovering from meningitis, in a nursing home for two years and then extended care (the place was a dump). Now, I live on my own and have had a nice payment from SSD so it will make things much easier for me. I would like to go back to driving a truck, but the doctor says I should give it up. We shall see. All I need to do is to get my CDL back and I can go regional. Far easier than cross country. Besides, I need to come back here to get my meds. ;)

My delusions of driving for a living went up the chimney with my 2nd heart attack. Now I have another problem that would make it awkward as I have to stay near a commode or risk embarrassing myself (or wearing "Depends"). Hopefully that latter is temporary, but has been ongoing for the last ten months or so. The heart problems may be alleviated some by the all natural program I am on now but that is still a question mark as I am only 1 month into the full program. As for the meds - the side effects are worse than the disease (much of which is medical fad, and Big Pharma marketing schemes).
