Amzanig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorant M -- this is a cute display ... but also a good example of yanking a reference without understanding it. Our lingustic capacity is hardwired into our brain and our recall is, as you mention, relatively unhindered by jumbling some internal letters. It's a process very much analogous to what happens when the laser in your CD player reads the disk -- it is capable of interpreting data based on what came before it and what comes after it, even if bits of information are missing. It's called patterning, or "lingual extrapolation." Unfortunately, the cognitive process that drives our word-comprehension ability relies on a very rigid set of parameters and is operated almost entirely by context. The same "equation" that allow us to interpret words as a whole (that is, without the letters within needing to be in common order) also gets gummed up, slowed down and knocked off track by hiccups at the sentence level. Our brains use spacing, capital letters and punctuation -- along with a predictive process that guesses at meanings and parts of speech based on their physical spot in the sentence and on what has come before -- to identify not just the sense of the entire statement, but also to interpret the contextual meaning of individual words. So, while your brain may be able to read the words spelled srtngaely, interpreting a sentence written the way greedy types them is, for your brain, like a trying to navigate a pothole-full, rock-strewn back road. At night. At high speed. Hence my suggestion that people use standard English as best they can: though people can interpret non-standard writing, it's a lot of work and, for that reason, also is inconsiderate.

and it's actually quite hard to spell that way... It took me forever to writte that one paragraph. One of my points is that at least he does place spacing, I am not saying that it is easy to understand what he is trieng to communicate, it would indeed help if Greedy was to use commas, or puntuactions, or capital letters now and then. I would enjoy a change in his writting style to a bit more formal and humanly understandable, but I do not agree with inccessant attacks made towards his... informality...

and it's actually quite hard to spell that way... It took me forever to writte that one paragraph. Oh my God, Madrid. I'm almost speechless. Your lying is really and truly ... well, just creepy and gross. That paragraph is all over the 'net, and is part of a popular chain e-mail. You didn't "write" it: you cut and pasted it from somewhere online. Sweet Jesus, how terrifyingly delusional. I mean, seriously ... I can't believe someone on our boards here would behave so sociopathically.

sociopathically?...
Is it a word, can't find it in a dictionary...
I said that I wrotte it, not that I came up with it. Believe it or not, and you might either not belive me, or consider me a dork. I didn't cut and paste. I typed it all. I did get the paragraph online, but I thought the general public would know that, so I didn't bother in sourcing it. If you want to I will place it in qoutes and make sure to write a footnote of where I recieved the paragraph in order to avoid plagerism.
I just wanted to know how that first person who wrotte it felt or how did he/she/it accomplish it. It's not my fault if you mis-interpretate things. Well, actually it is somewhat my fault because I did not make it clear enough for people to understand I am not the producer of the paragraph.

how old are you? 14? 15?
highschool, right?
if i were your teacher...
i would send you back to third grade.
it is utterly unacceptable to be in highschool and not know how to spell or write.
and don't give me this "i type fast" or any other kind of bullshit. if you can speak, do it. don't make excuses.

I wasn't going to say "I type fast". I know I shouldn't have any excusses. I just am a bad speller. There is no point in making excusses. If you are doing this in return to the "it is not in the dictionary" comment. I like to look up words that I don't know, I didn't mean to be rude or anything, I just wanted to know if he made it up himself. I'm 15 and freshman in high school.

It's the adverb form of sociopath. And sociopath is the word for a person afflicted with an anti-social disorder; more specifically, someone who pretends at socializing but can't quite get it right, because he or she doesn't actually experience empathy for other people. And that's a fancy way of saying someone who's feelings-less. It's spooky. And it's reflective of your bizarre behavior. You want me to believe you typed that paragraph out while looking at it electronically on the Internet ... just so you could experience what the first person who typed it out did? Seriously -- that's what you'd like to promote as the truth? That rather than cutting it and pasting it, you retyped the entire thing? That's sociopathic. You're missing the part of you that says, "rather than concocting an insulting and ridiculous lie to cover up a previous fib, I ought to just admit that I wasn't telling the truth in the first place, and was trying to take credit for something someone else did." If you really did retype it -- for whatever reason -- that's got crazy written all over it, too. Madrid, you're getting buffeted around because you just don't get "it." The problem is, no one is ever going to make you understand what "it" is but YOU. And you don't seem inclined to try to figure it out. Which I suppose makes me wonder why I even respond. Maybe I need to check the DSM for "can't stop trying to steer irritating youth closer to appropriate by repeatedly contesting him."

Really, I did type it myself. It is not a lie, and there is no other lie to try and cover up in first place. I might be crazy, I wouldn't be surprised if I did turn out to be crazy, you aren't the first person to tell me that either. Sometimes, the plain and simple truth is bizzarre. Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it doesn't. But I will just take my own crazy advice and keep it to my own crazy self.
