For some words it matters and takes a split second longer to get the right word.

Or maybe I just have diminished mental capacity.

Yes, I'm dyslexic....if it didn't work that way, I'd be fucked.

I just have to be careful with numbers.

I still swap letters a lot in my posts though, I try and catch it with a quick scan, but it doesn't always work.

Holy shit , even at 4:48AM I could read it no probs. I know I know , I am one of those early risers. (I leave the house about 6:20 for work). This is the only "peacefull time" I can get. Very interesting study though.

*edit spelling>me this early though

My guess why phenomenal screwed some of us up is because you'd really need the ph in the same position since it's those two letters that form the first sound of the word. Without the h, your mind is putting a "puh" sound to it, leading it off on the wrong track.

Or maybe it's just a weird cinocndiece.

Oh, and the fact that phenomenal has no 'i' in it is a little misleading too! ;P
