I've seen this about 3 or 4 times. It's old, but it is stil interesting. Someone should try making a sentence with like huge ass words in it and see if it works

Did someone change the name of this thread? I've serached this board a few times before posting this reply, but still dont have the answer.

[taliendo]

THAT was the most trippy thing I've ever experienced while not being on a drug induced hallucinogen.

Thank you for that.

[Starfish]

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.

[Mr.Deflok]

What? Some people (other than Admins) can use the Search function? I thought it had something to do with the TFP switching servers?

Regadrelss tihs is a cool trhaed.

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.

[vapusforever]

OMG, that is totally amazing, BRILLIANT!!!

[datroyenschwart]

Hey man, rednduadnt or not, I tihnk tihs is raelly cool. Puls I'm durnk and I'd porbalby tpye lkie tihs aynwyay.

That help my dyslexia

That reminds me of the bumper sticker my mother has

DAM Mothers against dyslexia

[Mr.Deflok]

How can you use the Search option on a thread like this? NOTHING IS SPELT CORRECTLY!!!

[heyhey]

[Beanie]

lol thats great. the things we do without even knowing it....

[diddagirl]

LOL...Very cool and interesting

[billclinton]

GO BABY GO

[Spanxxx]

I can't read this whole thread. Did anyone point out that he misspelled "important", even in its garbled state?

[ibis]

That's pretty neat. Saw it in a friends profile a while back.

[todd]

[teethman]

i made a mental note of that

I must say that this really amkes a lot of sense.

Although it is a tad judgemental.

[caz]

this is actually a great excersise for teh eye... I am a graduate in the arts of typography and this is one of the first lessons we learned. Next try hidden messages within the middle letters.

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.

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!)

#!/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:

It's obvious he revels in the positive attention you all give him, but have you ever stopped to think that he also revels in the negative attention he gets from the staff? The dude is sick in the fucking head.

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.

[nulltype]

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.

Now with butter flavor!

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

That is the most disturbing thing I have read all year.

Very interesting study. Kinda goes against Gestalt cognitive theories.

That is cool. When i started reading it after i seen how the letters were. That is cool
