yes i can read it. its an interesting thing our brain is doing there, huh? i actually knew this one before, but it is still fascinating
i am however surprised only 55 % of the people have this ability. i always thought pretty much everybody could read textes with only the first and last letter of every word in the right spot.

I get the same message, in french. This study is not serious, because it only works with short words or only with familiar words, which u use in basic conversation.
