Extreme Reading

Published 23 February 2006 by Santosh

Ignore the fact that the subject paragraph on the left is badly mangled. Try reading it through anyway.

Amazingly, you will find that it is not all that hard to follow.

Here is what the paragraph actually says without spelling errors:
"THE PHENOMENAL POWER OF THE HUMAN MIND. According to research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole."

Good.
That was new to me, yet I was used to claim that by myself for a long time already. I was used to say that visual art and word art differ between only in the form of expression while the essence of the creativity is one and the same; it is the recognition of self in the whole and the whole in oneself.
However, you have show that formalities of the expression are also alike. Have a look. You show the effect of first and the last letter in a word.
Artists should keep in view the whole picture even while working on shaping the tiny stroke on a list.
Learning to put in words what we sense intuitively opens the door into simply amazing space, into the new reality.
Thank you for help to forget my bold head.

(This does not work all the time, if you will notice the words in this post are substantially more difficult to decipher. If it was so easy, there would be no challenge to games like scrabble.)

Leitey: I had no trouble deciphering you post whatsoever, and I think it is clear that making valid analogies is not a hobby of yours. Sheeesh!
