About Hitman: Movie (2007)
Vin Diesel is a hardcore gamer, and absolutely loves the Hitman series. For that reason I have faith that he wont destroy the movie.

Response: Well, Uwe Boll probably loved the Alone in the Dark games.

I hate that shit.

Plus it works only if you're constantly surrounded with English 24/7
Proper or improper it don’t matter.

But, being surrounded only with perfect English 3/7 will make shit like that impossible to read Sad

Could and actually threw me off... as well as many others... Sad

But your English is very good apart from that common error.

I wonder;
If I were to hand in an essay written in typoglycemia would I get the grades for content or lose grades for spelling and grammar?

Not an english speaker and I could read it just fine. Had to pause on the word "power" but rest was smooth.

Whats interesting is that computers will have a hard time reading even computerized text like this (optically = text recognition), but the human mind can read hand written AND in a jumble.

No entry found for Typoglycemia.


then it goes;
Did you mean Typo glycemia?

I wonder if typoglycemia is even a real word Very Happy

Ideologically it would mean a presence of typos in a word Laughing Laughing
But that's ghay. Rolling Eyes Laughing

And I don’t think “typoglycemia” works for made up words.
It loses its ‘coolness’ in big words.

Fisk once said he couldn't read that shit when it was first posted months ago.

I think it's also the way the letters are placed. You can write research in many different ways and only the similar one to "research" will be understood same with phenomenal. It works well for four - six letter words. but with letters more than that it'll get confusing and difficult to read.

To me, this is really frustrating. Because everyone writes they can read that shit. I certainly can't, maybe I could guess if I sat and threw the letters around, thinking about every word (or so). But to me my text and the top one are equally readable.

I don't know, maybe it's got something to do with my english capability. I've been speaking and writing english for 18 years though (began reading/talking/writing/understanding english when I was 9), and I never use subtitles for english/american movies/series, nor do I have a problem switching accents between brittish-english, scottish, cockney... and I do a mean irish.

English has been one of the languages I've put the most time in learning, mostly because you really can't do without it here in Sweden, especially when you're studying at a university. Nearly all my literature in Philosophy, Sociology and Pedagogy is in english. And it's not like it's high-school english either.

I've always found it frustrating when I notice that someone (sometimes me) misspell words, because it's like; when I read a text, it goes like a fluid water flow, and every time someone does a typo (or whatnot), it's like hitting a bump in the road. Perhaps it's some sort of dyslexia, I don't know.

I just can't read that pile of lettering.


Yes, yes I'm back.

Can read the text without any bitg problems, but like Fisk said, how should that text look like for people who've got dyslexia.
