Jennie,

Like you, I read through the sentence with no problem.

It's kind of weird how our minds can put things together so quickly!

But, (improper)spacing on the other hand, can muck up things a bit-

"Acoc drnig toanel gnsihun viesitry sutdyth eored roflete trsinawro ddos en'tmtta er, theol nythnigt hta'siop mrantt isthatth efrsita ndlsatltt eerofeev rywo rdisint hecrcreo tpto ision.Ther setcan bejmbue ldandon eisstlilable toraed thet xetwi ohtut dcl fuiiy."

U gys ar scruing wth my prcepsions. . .I have to work to get the meanings, as I keep tripping over the misspellings! It's another one of the things that make people so interesting for me. . .The different ways that our minds work!

No, just nosy.

Actually, it is a useful skill when discussing a contract with a potential buyer.

Another profession which one needs to learn how to read upside down is postman. I would say 30% of the mail I had to deliver needed to be upside down for, get this, easier reading! It's kinda odd really, but deliver mail for a single day, and you will know why.
