That's pretty cool, I had no problem reading that.

And this is why you don't do drugs......kids.

TIHS!

Using letters in between the correct first and last letter to spell other words (whether it be slang or actual words) can easily distract the reader from the message being conveyed. In addition, 2 and 3 letter words eliminate any confusion since you cannot mix the letters up. 4 letter words are easy, since you only have 2 letters to switch. 5 letter words are still a "pceie" of cake to figure out. 6 or more letters are where the challenge starts.

Example: 2 & 3 letter words are your "freebies" and 4 letter words are basic giveaways, so you can read (and understand) partially what I am saying here, but I bet the slang and real words within the following keep you from what I am trying to say:

You konw waht? Jbumeld jgroan ubrainsledtndy cnonat clitonusony and clitsntoesny be cbonerslimphee udenr ervey cuntmicscare.

Take away all words with 4 letter or less:

Jbumeld jgroan ubrainsledtndy cnonat clitonusony clitsntoesny cbonerslimphee udenr ervey cuntmicscare.

Take away the piece-of-cake 5 letter words:

Jbumeld jgroan ubrainsledtndy cnonat clitonusony clitsntoesny cbonerslimphee cuntmicscare.

My point? We are a breed using simple small words to convey what we need and want. Is it that we are lazy? Maybe. Is it that we are not smart? Maybe. Do we just need to learn how to spell and kick those who spent research money to do the study in the ass? YES!

Just my 2 coconuts worth.

(here is what the above statement says: You know what? Jumbled jargon understandibly cannot continuously and consistently be comprehensible under every circumstance.)

...were there some subliminals sneaking their way in there NOT so subtly?!...

Ha! See how one can be distracted? I don't agree with the university's supposide findings and thought I'd take my example to the...ahem....extreme.
