This text circulated on the internet in September 2003. I first became aware of it when a journalist contacted a my colleague Sian Miller on 16th September, trying to track down the original source. It's been passed on many times, and in the way of most internet memes has mutated along the way. It struck me as interesting - especially when I received a version that mentioned Cambridge University! I work at Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, in Cambridge, UK, a Medical Research Council unit that includes a large group investigating how the brain processes language. If there's a new piece of research on reading that's been conducted in Cambridge, I thought I should have heard of it before...

fail.

lol.

yes, I knew about it, and I could perfectly read it.

Key-J once told me before, when I had a post to help with my English homework(It was called INternetz Slang) that, and I could read it perfectly fine.

The only thing that amazes me is that when people are screwing up my name, I don't understand it totally, yet other words I can.

Lol.

Does it matter if it's old?.. It really is fascinating to be able to read like that.

Yah it's very old. My friend gave a message like that long time ago. But still it's very nice. I didn't even notice that the letters were screwed up until I read the part saying it is.

[rek]

It was fascinating, the first time.
