Taht was amzanig, I colud raed that no prbolem. That's booldy brilailnt!

how can this come as a surprise to anyone on the internet

the interesting thing to ME is that while i can easily read the sentences, i also register that all the words are wrong

i have a severely disabled net friend who, back when he could type, made horrendous random typing errors. 90% of the time i had no big problem reading what he had typed.
