[Year 12 IPM] Typoglycemia

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Perhaps Keith, something similar is going on here. I recall from a hearing
impaired friend that speechreading (lip reading) only retained clues for 30%
of a conversation, yet combined with body language, facial expressions and
context, this was enough to hold a full conversation.

Computers on the other hand are rather more unforgiving. A . out of place or
a missing > in a HTML tag and poof, it blasts everything away into nothing.

Regards Roland

Maybe we don't need to use a full spell-check any more, now that we know
how unimportant correct spelling can be! 'Unimportant', that is, for
getting across one's meaning...
