Why spelling doesn't matter

The Human Mind

Don't delete this because it looks weird.

Believe it or not you can read it.

What do you mean by nut?

 

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant to say "thermal nuclear spandex livers".

 

Yes, so did I. But no, that doesn't prove "why spelling doesn't matter."

If there were no PROPER spellings of all those words that are misspelled in the paragraph shown, you would not be able to "make sense" out of the scrambled spellings.

The only reason you can make sense out of it is because each word is a jumble of a REAL word that you DO know how to spell.

Dude, that was fuckin' FUNNY!!

damn dude shut the fuck up and let​

everyone have fun​

start your own thread and​

quit trying to bring everyone​

down to your level​

its time for you to​

take your speak and spell and​

go sit in the closet or something​

​

 

So who the fuck made you the arbiter of what I get to say, and which discussions I join?! :$



Someone tried to palm this little oddity off as though it absolves everyone of ever having to spell anything right. (Oh, and it's not actually a study from Cambridge -- that's been debunked -- even though it does actually work. I guess whoever realized it wanted to back it with some sort of air of authority, so they said it was a Cambridge study when it wasn't.)

Think about it: If there were no CORRECT spelling of a word like "everyone," then what would your mind be "seeing" when it saw "ereyvnoe" and figured out that it meant "everyone"? There has to be a correct word -- "everyone" -- in order for your brain to "register" IT when it saw the mispelled version.

Without a correctly-spelled true version of any given word, this trick would not work. In such a case, all we'd be looking at would be random jumbles of letters. They need to be correlated to some REAL words in order to make any sense.

What I did does not diminish the fascinating truth that our brains make sense out of those words as long as the first and last letters are in the correct places. That's still "fun." I didn't "ruin" it for anyone. I was just putting a stop to the fallacy that this somehow proves that we don't need correct spellings.

Jeffrey peaceful

 

blah blah blah ​

jeff you are such an angry person​

why dont you take some advice​

from some uneducated hippies​

and​

SHUT THE FUCK UP​

​

 

This thread was just a little humor jeffrey and yes, you are right, the correct spelling would need to be established in order to read a jumbled version of a word.

It was just a little fun. It seems to me that unless you're sucking up to some girl on here in hopes of getting a foot job, you're completely uptight.

I should also mention that you are a hypocrite. Above you ask the poster, "So who the fuck made you the arbiter of what I get to say, and which discussions I join?! :$ "

To that I ask, who the fuck made you the spelling and grammar check for the forums?

You are so very quick to judge and criticize others, yet the second someone disagrees with what you say or your behavior, you get your panties all in a bunch. Is wearing women's underwear a fetish of yours as well?
