reading scrambled words
2021-09-30 13:12You've probably seen those "if yuo cna raed tihs" passages that purport it's really easy to read scrambled words, "all you need is the first and last letters in the right place". But I've noticed that the scrambling on those often isn't that different from the look or sound of the original word, so I've suspected deliberate catering. And I've done some algorithmic transformations instead. See how easy these are!
This one is simply sorts all the internal letters:
"For iacnnste," he tlod Madinrn. "Your mehotr will caeilnrty be both scehkod and saddeend by this dceiiosn. She may eerxt her iceeflnnu. Echits and law aer, as you know, on her sdei. How will you renopsd? To waht eentxt are you wiillng to fnud this cchioe? How mcuh soorrw are you wiillng to casue? How mcuh dadiisn are you wiillng to bare? Selruy, your fdeinrs msut rceiol as you setp benoyd taht wchih tehy feel and know to be peoprr. Your menotr may cdeinosr it ibcemnnut uopn her to aelrt the Saefty Ocffie, and the Saeefits deem it tehir dtuy to ieennrtve."
This was scrambled at pseudo-random. You'll probably recognize it but would you want to read it?
