I guess I'm hurting a bit right now for meaningful content. None the less, this is one of those silly forwards that I receive on occasion. It's a pretty fascinating exercise that, in the very least, illustrates our brain's ability to automatically correct certain things for us. Supposedly only 55 of 100 people have no problem reading the following words. I did find that I could read it almost perfectly with no pauses. Not sure what this says about me, but anyway, enjoy.

Yeah, I love that.
I feel my brain working hard to read it, but I can read through it very quickly. Bizarre every time. :)
I'm also one of the lucky 55 :) Makes proofreading more difficult when your mind fixes mistakes first!
