how bizarrely true!!!

it is, isn't it?

I saw this same thing in an e-mail sent to my best friend (a linguistics major/geek). The thing is, it doesn't make it all that difficult, but it makes it annoying, and I have to look twice at some things, and it seems to kill speed reading (my eyes zoom over the short part where they're all written out correctly, and slow down again as they jumble).

I guess people are different. To me it really made no difference. I could read it in the exact same speed as always. But certainly, I'd definitely be pissed if a fic or mail in that style arrived in my inbox. I probably would refuse to read it! XD

it's even more impressive for you. if i tried to read another language jumbled up it'd be very difficult i think.

That's... just strange... but it makes sense I suppose, english words are quite easy to guess at with a beginning, an end, and all the letters, my brain simply unjumbled the letters and read it as normal, although it did take half a second longer when I first started reading to catch onto why you made so many typos XD
