The only word that tripped me up was "phenomenal", but I figured out why. There isn't a second "e" in the mixed-up version, but there's an extra "a", so it looks like someone spelled the mixed-up version incorrectly.

Yes, I'm a dork. It's a blessing and a curse to have a mother who was an English teacher.

I think the "Cambridge" research part is just an urgan legend. This has gone around the internet a few times and I've seen the "research" done by Harvard, Princeton, etc.

Still rather amazing.

I agree with CJ. I think some dyslexic student stayed up one night and had one too many cups of coffee. And just figured the world should be like him. This is step one of his plot to assymulate the world.

The concept of the mind registering the whole and not the parts stems from an early 20th century concept of Gestalt psychology. Whether it's letters or art, the parts don't matter it's the sum that counts.

Yes..in fact the experiment was done with shapes. example: A circle was drawn but was not connected, but the particpants brain registered it as a complete circle. Long time..no hear..Jaccie. Fellow KU grad
