Fun fact: so long as the first and last letters of each word are correct, most people can read a sentence just fine. It’s a good example of how extremely good our brains are at pattern recognition.

Aocernig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the Itteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt ting is taht the frist and Isat Itteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sill raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is buseae the huamn mid deos not raed ervey Iteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

It's been debunked a while ago

Has it? I’d love a link.

We’re you able to read my quote at nearly unjumbled speed? Because I think most of us can, which is proof it’s valid.

I'd hardly call that debunked.

The meme version is overly simplified and that's about all.

Still better than a 5minute voice memo.

[–] Knuschberkeks@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Man I hate those. I have one friend that puts it to the extreme. Their record currently sits at a 20 minute voice memo where the part relevant to the conversation could have been put in about 20 words of text.

My rule for Voice memos is that I only use them if we are both using them. Then it becomes alot of fun.

This is how my mom texts, and it's always a fun game trying to figure out what she's trying to say

This is me.

Typing in a touch screen is one thing, editing text is just plain tedious. If it's close enough just leave it.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works -5 points 2 years ago

What pisses me off is when it's a very obvious typo and the other person responds "what?" Like idk dumbass use your fuckin brain
