you can almost prove mathematically that spelling is not important.
but note that this probably applies to people who are already comfortable reading, children still learning, illeterate adults still learning and people with learning disabilities, or people new to the language would probably find this more difficult since they tend to read at least some words on a letter by letter (not a scientific anything, just my own probably flowed observations).
this might also be specific to english or to some broader category of languages, we should try it with arabic and see what the result will be, I'll write a program to generate jumbled arabic text and test when I got free time, tell me if you're interested to test with me.
I've seen similar texts and I am amazed to find how the human mind is able to see the words despite the spelling. As it was explained to me, at least for english, is that the mind does not read each individual letter, only the word itself. Which is what this text is essentially saying, so here I am being obvious.
this is amazing. wonder what else the mind can do.

tknhas for sahinrg ;-)
i feel like this is gy 3la elgarh ya dalia
you know i dont concentrate much in the spelling when I write , but i believe I should , especially if i want to communicate with a message and people can understand and process easily what I am saying.
Funny enough I need to do that even in the real life, people claim that I speak too quickly and they tell me wa7da wa7da :)
sometimes I know they can't get what i say when I speak so quickly when I find them smiling and not answering ... but after a while they got used to and now communicating with me easily, they have to live with that I guess if they want to communicate with me.
I'm doing a science project about that. My therory is that age differences might affect wheter or not you can read it or maybe their reading ability too.
For instance, maybe a teen who texts a lot would understand it better than an adult, because when they text ther mix letters up some times too.
