Fun 'brain test':
I've seen this with the letters out of order, and you probably have too -- but have you seen it with numbers?

Good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this you have a strong mind:
7H15 M3554G3 53RV35 7O PR0V3 H0W 0UR M1ND5 C4N D0 4M4Z1NG 7H1NG5! 1MPR3551V3 7H1NG5! 1N 7H3 B3G1NN1NG 17 WA5 H4RD BU7 N0W, 0N 7H15 LIN3 Y0UR M1ND 1S R34D1NG 17 4U70M471C4LLY W17H 0U7 3V3N 7H1NK1NG 4B0U7 17, B3 PROUD! 0NLY C3R741N P30PL3 C4N R3AD 7H15.

Note from Amicale: I printed this out, and a few family members couldn't make heads or tails of it. Interestingly, the ones who're familiar with the internet could without a problem. I take it that we've grown used to 'g33ky l33t sp3@k' online, so we're the ones who don't have a problem. But maybe I'm wrong, there could be people online who aren't sure what certain words are saying. Let me know if you had any issues with it!
It was just like you said. It was automatic right when you said it would be.
I was able to read it after re-reading the first few words in the sentence. And I don't use text speech nor am I exposed to it frequently....i actually hate it and think that with the way phones are now set up to autocomplete that it's easier to just use the real word. I do make an exception for using u instead of you and ignore sentence structure often (which I"m sure has affected my grammar skills).
Took a couple of runs, but I got it in the end.
The Asmo's computing power is such that he can read numbers pretty much as fast as regular letters from the start ;D All he needs is an explanation of what sounds the numbers corespond to, and then - no problem.
Well, there was a word or two that made me pause for a second before I figured it out (for example "W17H 0U7", but I think it's because of the spelling error ;D ), otherwise I could read it without muh difficulty, just like with txet with mipslaced lettres ;)
Anyway, these are sometimes kinda fun, and usually interesting...thanks for shareing :)
That was easy, but that's how I create computer passwords so I've had practice.
What I noticed while I read that (which I read all the way through the first time, btw) was that once by I recognized a certain string of numbers as a certain word, for example once I knew that 7H15 = THIS, I didn't have to think about it again. Also, I was auto-completing the sentence even before I got to the words, because there are certain popular phrases where I guess what word comes next. It's a neat trick though.
Got it!
I read it well, but then again patterns are really ingrained in me. ;D
I CAN read it! Woo hoo~ :)
I also read a backwords paragraph last night on fb. It was kind of frightening how easy it was.
I must be posessed. XP
Got it on the first try. A little slow at first, but very easy once you get going.

that's not strictly true, given your recent fleeting heritage
hi dear, happier here isn't it?
Cool. I've seen things like this before when the middle letters of a word were mixed up, but never with numbers thrown in, as well. The brain is good at picking up patterns and making sense out of apparent chaos.
I think maybe the trick is, to not think about it. I could read it as fast as if it were proper words on the first go. Although I must admit at times I just felt myself trying to look at a word just to see what on earth I was actually reading, to see the numbers that I didn't see when I was reading it at normal speed.
Quite fascinating.

You can also do an m without using letters. Like /\/\, for instance

In leet??
Elite speak = 1337
Ah I get it I just looked up leet. It's funny some people can read it, but don't even know what the hell it's called ;D

The first time I saw 1337 on a T-shirt I didn't have a clue what it meant!
