MS Psychologist on How We Read, "In another follow-up to Can You Raed Tihs? Microsoft's Kevin Larson, a cognitive psychologist, dissected the main hypotheses on how we read at ATypI's Vancouver Typography conference. 'Kevin supports the 'parallel letter recognition' model. People don't he says, recognise whole-word shapes. Instead the recognise each of the letter components and then make a series of best-guesses on the information returned to assemble, first, phonemes and then words.' So what about the case of patterned re-ordering, aka the counter example to Can You Raed Tihs?"

this explains why people can understand me when i type!!! :)
