okay people, it might be important to note that not ALL people's login's can use the search feature, because it isn't allowed on their accounts. so quit your bitchin' about repeat posts. goddamn. i sure hope a thread i made earlier wasn't a repost, maybe i'll get reamed up the ass just like meepa. i tried to search first to see if i could find the subject, but nooooooooo, i'm not allowed to use that feature. so if i made a repost, deal with it and quit your bitching.

yes, you are correct Mr. Defolk. my bad. i have been on a long hiatus from TFP, and so i didn't know what was going on with the server thing until being back for a week or too. please disregard my last comment.

Although it is a tad judgemental.

Short sentences without context are very hard to read, especially if they don't have many one-, two-, or three-letter words that are obviously invariant under the given rule. Four-letter words are bound in their correct form half the time, and trivial to correct when they are not. Furthermore, one can devise scrambling strategies that mislead the reader for certain classes of longer words.
I think what we see in the given paragraph is that the first/last letter constraint combined with enough invariant or nearly-invariant words combined with enough material to provide context clues raises the information content of the stream to a readable level. I don't think the first/last letter constraint by itself is adequate. It's certainly interesting, but the claim as given here is overstated.

Steve
I was a bit suspicious that this was a little rigged.

So I made a python program that accomplishes the discussed operation upon an input file or even standard input. (yay!)

Code:
#!/bin/env python

import random
import string

def scramble(s):
    # check for single character or empty strings
    if len(s) <= 1:
        return s

    # check for strings having no different characters
    for i in range(len(s) - 1):
        if s[i] != s[i+1]:
            break
    else:
        return s

    l = list(s)
    r = s
    while r == s:
        random.shuffle(l)
        r = string.join(l, '')
    return r

import fileinput
file = ''
for line in fileinput.input():
        file += line

word = ''
output = ''
for char in list(file):
    if char in string.ascii_letters:
        word += char
    else:
        if len(word) > 0:
            if len(word) == 1:
                output += word
            else:
                output += word[0] + scramble(word[1:-1]) + word[-1]
            word = ''
        output += char

print output
And so:

Seems way harder to read than the example 'joke.' Conclusion: the example paragraph is contrived. I now have a theory about Dutch that I will now test.

German -> Dutch Translater
 
My python program appears to also serve as a passable German to Dutch translater. By which I mean it produces unreadable gibbrish that looks kinda like Dutch. Proving, once and for all, the Dutch really is just badly spelled German.

A higher quality translater would move the first and last letter around on occasion, and sometimes double vowels for no apparent reason.
