No, but only because I usually can read a carp in one sitting. ;)

Then that disproves the theory as stated. Perhaps it should be restated to "For shorter words, the order of the letters in the word does not matter so long as the first and last letter are the same. However, after a certain threshold the brain's ability to bring meaning out of the jumble begins to break down."

I don't have a vested interest, I'm just interested.
